Provides a qualitative analysis of the relationship between the social and political ecology of New Orleans and the physical and psychological well-being of its populace during and after Hurricane Katrina. The author argues that media-related exploitation of survivors indirectly decreased their quality of life and increased their stress by disseminating “refugee†or “evacuee†stereotypes.
