Abstract
Description
Although the long-term effects of disasters and the factors
that affect the ability to recover have received a great deal of
attention recently, the recovery literature is limited and uneven
in terms of the units of analysis studied and the research
findings. Nigg and Tierney (1990) note that the majority of
empirical studies on recovery have taken the individual as the unit
of analysis. These works have focused on the emotional effects of
catastrophic events and the individual's ability to recover from
these psychological impacts (Bell, 1978; Huerta and Horton, 1978; Nigg and Mushkatel, 1985).
