Hi
With the usual apologies for self-promotion, a number of people were
interested in the paper we published recently in Review of Disability
Studies on disability issues arising from experiences of the Asian
Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.
Hemingway, L. and Priestley, M. (2006) Natural hazards, human
vulnerability and disabling societies: a disaster for disabled people?
Review of Disability Studies, 2(3): 57-67
http://www.rds.hawaii.edu/subscribers/downloads/pdf/RDS02032006.pdf
I thought it would be helpful to let you know that the second paper from
that research, which continues the story, has just been published
here...
Priestley, M. and Hemingway, L. (2006) Disabled People and Disaster
Recovery: a tale of two cities? Journal of Social Work in Disability and
Rehabilitation, 5(3/4): 23-42

I'm afraid this journal isn't freely available, although some libraries
will have a subscription to it, but all the papers in the special issue
are reprinted as a chapter in a new book organised in collaboration with
the Families and Survivors of the Tsunami (FAST) project and the World
Association of Social Workers...
Asian Tsunami and Social Work Practice: Recovery and Rebuilding
Edited by Ngoh Tiong Tan and Allison Rowlands

For clarity I should probably add that although the journal/book are
focused on 'social work' our paper is more about disabling barriers,
social policies and the community involvement of disabled people's
organisations in disaster planning and preparedness.
Best wishes
Mark
