The reason is not simply that Katrina was an event of enormous scale, although it certainly was by any measure one of the most damaging storms in American history. But, quite apart from its lethality and destructiveness, Katrina retains a place in living memory because it is one of the most telling disasters in our recent national experience, revealing important truths about our society and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final volume in the award-winning Katrina Bookshelf series \u003ci\u003eHigher Ground\u003c\/i\u003e reflects upon what we have learned about Katrina and about America. Kai Erikson and Lori Peek expand our view of the disaster by assessing its ongoing impact on individual lives and across the wide-ranging geographies where displaced New Orleanians landed after the storm. Such an expanded view, the authors argue, is critical for understanding the human costs of catastrophe across time and space. Concluding with a broader examination of disasters in the years since Katrina--including COVID-19--\u003ci\u003eThe Continuing Storm\u003c\/i\u003e is a sobering meditation on the duration of a catastrophe that continues to exact steep costs in human suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKai Erikson is the William R.
