“…Household resilience was seen relatively independently, with most respondents able to access essential supplies including food and water, but claiming that they did not have access to medication or first aid, which is an issue requiring investigation. This correlates with work by authors such as Hurlbert, Haines, and Beggs (), and Garrison and Sasser (), who emphasise the importance of family as first responders and ongoing assistance providers in a disaster situation. Nevertheless, based on this study, the authors of this paper argue that in the case of disaster, while each individual needs to achieve resilience, they also require very good social cohesion to recover as part of a community, not just individually.…”

“…An important source of bonding social capital is the family. Family characteristics such as the degree to which family members share comparable views on the importance of preparedness and relationships between gender role and preparedness activities (Armaş et al, ; Cottrell, ; Garrison & Sasser, ; Kirschenbaum, ) influence levels of preparedness. Cottrell discussed how family conflict regarding the need for or benefit of preparing can reduce the likelihood of family support for preparedness in the home.…”

“…In a longitudinal qualitative study of 29 families in Louisiana who had survived Hurricane Katrina, 38 % of the respondents made sense of the storm by referencing "God" or "the Lord" (Garrison & Sasser, 2009).
