What if a Hurricane Hit Connecticut : Reflections on Katrina and the "Chronic Storms" Faced by Connecticut's Poor

Douglas Hall, Ph.D. and Shelley Geballe, J.D., M.P.H.

This report focuses both on the potential impact of a real hurricane strike on Connecticut's coast and the symbolic "chronic storms" faced by those struggling to make ends meet in Connecticut. In a real hurricane strike, Connecticut would be most endangered by a strike on a concentrated population center. The two centers with the greatest concentrations of individuals who would be threatened by a hurricane strike are Bridgeport and New Haven, both cities with relatively high poverty concentrations. (October 2005)
