This paper analyzes illicit drug markets in New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina and access to drug markets following evacuation at many locations and in Houston. Among New Orleans arrestees pre-Katrina, rates of crack and heroin use and market participation was comparable to New York and higher than in other southern cities. Both cities have vigorous outdoor drug markets. Over 100 New Orleans evacuees provide rich accounts describing the illicit markets in New Orleans and elsewhere. The flooding of New Orleans disrupted the city's flourishing drug markets, both during and immediately after the storm. Drug supplies, though limited, were never completely unavailable. Subjects reported that alcohol or drugs were not being used in the Houston Astrodome, and it was a supportive environment. Outside the Astrodome, they were often approached by or could easily locate middlemen and drug sellers. Evacuees could typically access illegal drug markets wherever they went. This paper analyzes the impact of a major disaster upon users of illegal drugs and the illegal drug markets in New Orleans and among the diaspora of New Orleans evacuees following Hurricane Katrina. This analysis includes data from criminal justice sources that specify what the drug markets were like before this disaster occurred. This analysis also includes some comparison cities where no disaster occurred, but which help inform the similarities and differences in drug markets in other cities. The data presented also include an initial analysis of ethnographic interview data from over 100 New Orleans Evacuees recruited in New Orleans and Houston.
本文分析了卡特里娜飓风前后新奥尔良的非法毒品市场，以及许多地点在疏散后和休斯敦的毒品市场准入情况。在卡特里娜飓风前的新奥尔良被捕者中，快克可卡因和海洛因的使用率以及市场参与率与纽约相当，高于其他南方城市。这两个城市都有活跃的户外毒品市场。100多名新奥尔良疏散者提供了丰富的描述，讲述了新奥尔良及其他地方的非法市场情况。新奥尔良的洪水在风暴期间及之后立即扰乱了该市繁荣的毒品市场。毒品供应虽然有限，但从未完全断绝。受访者表示，休斯敦太空穹顶体育馆内没有人使用酒精或毒品，那里是一个有利的环境。在太空穹顶体育馆外，他们经常会被中间人或毒贩搭讪，或者很容易就能找到他们。疏散者无论走到哪里，通常都能进入非法毒品市场。本文分析了一场重大灾难对非法毒品使用者以及新奥尔良非法毒品市场的影响，以及卡特里娜飓风后新奥尔良疏散者侨居地的情况。这一分析包括来自刑事司法来源的数据，这些数据说明了这场灾难发生前毒品市场的状况。这一分析还包括一些未发生灾难的对比城市，但这些城市有助于了解其他城市毒品市场的异同。所呈现的数据还包括对在新奥尔良和休斯敦招募的100多名新奥尔良疏散者的人种学访谈数据的初步分析。
