Responses to Katrina, and etc.
I've just received a note from RSS member, John Green at Delta State Univ. regarding some efforts there to organize a response to the Katrina and Rita effects in the Delta region. This effort is captured, and will continue to be featured in a new web-based information site created by John and another RSS member, Anna Kleiner from Louisiana. For more info, see...
Duane Gill at Mississippi State is organizing a summit to assist in developing a broader response by various state agencies and the resource information available via the state information center in the sociology department there is available via the site above if you follow the "more resources" link.
ASA is also sponsoring an effort led by Kai Erickson with some participation by several sociologists and rural sociologists (Bob Gramling and Bill Freudenburg, among others) and this undertaking is just getting underway.
If anyone has further info about these efforts or others that I have not included here but need some visibility, please post them in response to this note.
Plans are continuing--and are nearly complete--for a joint summit of several organizations with leadership by RSS and the SRDC (led by former Pres. Bo Bealieu). This group will be meeting soon and will include representatives of CDS and NACDEP as well as appropriate USDA agency representatives. Funding is being provided by RSS, SRDC and USDA/CSREES to help offset costs of this meeting. More information will be available soon on this event likely to be scheduled for early December. The focus of this event is to determine what needs to be done to assist people to rebuild community in the face of these tragic natural events and the subsequent migration of populations and devastation of social, economic and physical infrastructure. And, while the focus will be less on the physical infrastructure aspects--as other resources appear to be focused here--we know how this factor is related to many others of concern.
Your ideas are certainly welcome and I encourage you to post them in response in this blog.
