Disasters and Older Adults

Vol. XXXI, No.4
Jenny Campbell, guest editor

Any profession devoted to human service has much to learn from a horrific event like Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, but for the field of aging this disaster is of particular concern because a large proportion of the victims -- and, it turns out, many of the heroes -- were older people. Now, with the dust of demolition still unsettled almost three years after that storm struck the Gulf Coast, this issue of Generations uses Katrina for a broad look at disasters and aging.
