Right now in the Gulf Coast region, hundreds of thousands of Americans are feeling the effects of trauma from being driven from home by the winds and water of Hurricane Katrina. At best, they feel a strong sense of displacement, as the familiarity and comfort of home are just a memory.
Their experience will be tragically compounded if we do not assist their relocation as soon as possible. If they continue to live in shelters and sport stadiums alongside thousands of other people, their feeling of insecurity and abandonment will only increase.
We could not prevent the trauma of the hurricane. We must prevent the worsening of its aftermath."
