Flood hazards, race, & environmental justice in New York Maantay and Maroko's research is intended to help hazard management and disaster planning before and after a high magnitude flood event. By using a Cadastral-based Expert Dasymetric System (CEDS) they were able to estimate the number of ‘ vulnerable sub-populations ’ in the densely populated New York City area. Their research broadly supports an EJ approach to natural disaster mitigation. By highlighting the importance of equality issues and the disproportionate exposure some people have to such events, they invoke the EJ movement's notion of distributional justice. The lack of ‘ strong social, financial, or political support structures ’ are constituent factors in how people deal with large-scale disasters. The criticism of the US government's response to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, draw on such notions. The online publication set-up by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) entitled Understanding Katrina helps to ground this research in socio-political approaches to so-called ‘natural’ disasters.
