Katrina and the Mass Displacement

"I just assumed that it would be there as it had been for thousands of years," says colette. "We found that we were now bound by the impossible task of insuring that our communities would not be erased due to climate change" The first wave is people who are, i would say, in the working class, folks who have a car and the ability to leave. There's another wave of displacement that comes with sort of mandatory evacuation. And those folks are often given one way tickets to a place they've never heard of.
