“…Overall, the results support the hypothesis that students who relocated to a different city following Hurricane Katrina reported more trauma symptoms compared to students who returned to New Orleans. These findings support earlier research on adults and children, suggesting increased trauma symptoms and depression following disaster relocation (Blaze & Shwalb, ; Kiliç et al., ; Milne, ; Najarian et al., ). A potential explanation for these findings may be the increased risk and vulnerability incurred by students who relocated.…”

The current study is designed to increase knowledge of the effects of relocation and its association with longer-term psychological symptoms following disaster. Following clinical observations and in discussions held with school officials expressing concerns about relocated students, it was hypothesized that students who relocated to a different city following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 would have more symptoms of posttraumatic stress compared to students who returned to New Orleans. The effect of Hurricane Katrina relocation was assessed on a sample of child and adolescent survivors in 5th through 12th grades (N = 795). Students with Orleans Parish zip codes prior to Hurricane Katrina were categorized into relocation groupings: (a) relocated to Baton Rouge, (b) returned to prior zip code, and (c) moved to a different zip code within Orleans Parish. Overall results revealed more trauma symptoms for relocated students. Results also revealed that younger relocated students had fewer symptoms compared to older students. The opposite was found for students who returned to their same zip code, with older students having fewer symptoms. This study supports the need for school-based services not only in disaster areas, but also in schools where survivors tend to migrate.

“…The finding that children Downloaded by [McMaster University] at 07:08 28 November 2014 VERNBERG & VOGEL whose families moved away after Cyclone Tracy fared worse than those who stayed in the community (Milne, 1977) supports the contention that coping is facilitated by ongoing contact with others who experienced the same traumatic event, although this ongoing contact apparently occurred naturally.…”

“…Studies have also examined how individuals responded to news coverage of crisis events; however, few examined how they coped with their feelings (Hoffner and Haefner 1993;Murphy and Moriarty 1976). Milne (1977) offered that children relocated after a cyclone in Australia experienced academic difficulties. Steinglass and Gerrity (1990) compared two communities requiring massive relocation, one due to a tornado and one due to a flood.…”
