Publication Type: Panelist Abstract Abstract: In 2005, the catastrophic impacts of Hurricane Katrina displaced families of various backgrounds throughout the Gulf Coast region. Using qualitative approaches, this presentation explores how religion and spirituality influenced the post-Katrina responses of African American families living in Slidell, Louisiana. This study examined not only the aftermath of this disaster on the families; but, this research accounts for the ways African American families used faith-based social support networks as a resource in order to rebuild their lives after experiencing the traumas of an environmental tragedy (Leach, Martin, Bowles, & Taliaferro, 2008). In addition, this presentation examines the roles of Black churches in preparing congregation members for the hurricane as well as responses among African American faith communities in the aftermath of the disaster. This presentation also explores the connections between natural disaster, familial resilience, and support networks within Black churches. The presentation concludes with implications for practice among African American families.
