Investing in Natural and Nature-Based Infrastructure: Building Better Along Our Coasts (2018, background): “In addition, built infrastructure, such as seawalls, levees, and culverts, often incurs emergency repair and replacement (ER) costs, sometimes multiple times over its lifetime, and ER costs are generally higher than normal repair and replacement costs [10,33,35,37].”
Shared Traumatic Stress among Social Workers in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (2015, background): “Logistical and procedural errors and inefficiencies stymied evacuation efforts and meant that the emergency period for Katrina lasted longer than any researched disaster (Kates et al., 2006).”
Informing Climate Adaptation: A Review of the Economic Costs of Natural Disasters, Their Determinants, and Risk Reduction Options (2012, neutral): “Communities only rarely choose not to rebuild after a disaster (Kates et al. 2006), however, suggesting that retreat in response to climate change may be limited.”
How to Track Adaptation to Climate Change: A Typology of Approaches for National-Level Application (2013, background): “…if it is deemed to reduce immediate risk, but in the long term may be maladaptive: for example, coastal protection measures may protect low-lying regions but increase vulnerability to high-magnitude storm surges by promoting development in high-risk locations (Kates et al. 1985, Kates et al. 2006).”

From landscapes of utopia to the margins of the green urban life (2018, background): “Much has been written about post-Katrina urban planning (Hartman 2006; Kates et al. 2006; Peck 2006; Ehrenfeucht and Nelson 2011; Brand 2015), though less of this work focuses on the emergence of the green paradox in the post-Katrina redevelopment landscape.”
Insight, part of a Special Feature on Managing Surprises in Complex Systems Ecological and Human Community Resilience in Response to Natural Disasters (2010, background): “While some portions of the system were irreversibly changed, other portions have recovered at different rates (Kates et al. 2006).”
