This chapter analyzes the early recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina in two low-income New Orleans neighborhoods; Tremé and Central City, which created a unique partnership between academics and communities. This analysis is based on a novel project that used participatory and action research. The results demonstrate the importance of using neighborhood-level mixed-methods research and multilevel analysis to better inform the recovery process. Lessons derived from this research can inform similar recovery efforts in future recovery contexts.305-328enBook chapter
