This book was released on 2001 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the final week of October 1998, Hurricane Mitch - arguably the worst natural disaster of the twentieth century - hit Central America, and Honduras and Nicaragua in particular. Hurricane Mitch hit a region that was just recovering from the effects of the El Nino Southern Oscillation, with its formidable droughts, forest fires and floods. The destruction was especially significant among the rural population of small producers of basic grains (maize, beans and rice), because this sector of the population lives and farms on alluvial lands, floodplains and hillsides with poor soil and limited soil-management or soil-conservation systems.

Book excerpt: It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the country, in terms of the amount of area affected. This hurricane passed through Central America late October & early November of 1998. Mitch leaves the nation in ruins, no water, no food, no electricity, no phone, in some areas no houses remained, no roads, no bridges, but plenty of mud, some places as far as the eye can see. Damage to infrastructure & agriculture is estimated in the billions of dollars. Appealing for international help, Honduran President announced that his country's developments had been set back 50 years. You can read about the drama; experiences as told by survivors in this 160 page, 8-1/2 x 11 book with more than 160 color pictures of damage related happenings, (some quotes from survivors.) Rebuilding will be an awesome job. The Choluteca River reeks of sewage, but the dozen men digging in its bank don't mind, they are looking for buried treasures, a tire would be great, a car would be like a gold mine. Rainfall in some areas was up to 75 inches, causing the Volcano Casto in Nicaragua to explode & wash a total village away, killing hundreds of people. This book is a must for school libraries & bookstores, also including information & data on the hurricane. This book is available from: Brookside Bookstore, 420 Weaver Rd., Millersburg, PA 17061.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world disaster vulnerability is on the rise. The incidence and intensity of disasters have increased in recent decades with lives being shattered and resources being destroyed across broad geographic regions each year. As it swept across the Honduran landscape, the exceptional size, power and duration of Hurricane Mitch abruptly and brutally altered the already diminished economic, social, and environmental conditions of the population. In the aftermath of the disaster a group of seven socio-environmental scientists set out to investigate the root causes of the heightened vulnerability that characterized pre-Mitch Honduras, the impact of the catastrophe on the local society, and the subsequent recovery efforts. Edited by Marisa O. Ensor, this volume presents the findings of their investigation. The Legacy of Hurricane Mitch offers a comprehensive analysis of the immediate and long-term consequences of Hurricane Mitch in Honduras. Based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork and environmental assessments, this volume illustrates the importance of adopting an approach to disaster research and practice that places “natural” trigger events within their political, cultural, and socio-economic contexts. The contributors make a compelling case against post-disaster recovery efforts that limit themselves to alleviating the symptoms, rather than confronting the root causes of the vulnerability that prefigured the disaster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural disasters, the effects of climate change, and political upheavals and war have driven tens of millions of people from their homes and spurred intense debates about how governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) should respond with long-term resettlement strategies. Many resettlement efforts have focused primarily on providing infrastructure and have done little to help displaced people and communities rebuild social structure, which has led to resettlement failures throughout the world. So what does it take to transform a resettlement into a successful community? This book offers the first long-term comparative study of social outcomes through a case study of two Honduran resettlements built for survivors of Hurricane Mitch (1998) by two different NGOs. Although residents of each arrived from the same affected neighborhoods and have similar demographics, twelve years later one resettlement wrestles with high crime, low participation, and low social capital, while the other maintains low crime, a high degree of social cohesion, participation, and general social health. Using a multi-method approach of household surveys, interviews, ethnography, and analysis of NGO and community documents, Ryan Alaniz demonstrates that these divergent resettlement trajectories can be traced back to the type and quality of support provided by external organizations and the creation of a healthy, cohesive community culture. His findings offer important lessons and strategies that can be utilized in other places and in future resettlement policy to achieve the most effective and positive results.
