In this research brief, we explore how places affected by natural disasters recover their populations through indirect, or "stage," migration. Specifically, we consider the idea that post-disaster impediments (e.g., housing and property damage) in disaster-affected areas spawn migration flows toward and, over time, to disaster-affected areas through intermediary destinations. Taking as our case Orleans Parish over a five-year period after Hurricane Katrina, we show that stage migration accounted for up to about one-fourth of population recovery. We close by discussing the implications, limitations, and potential extensions of our work.
在本研究简报中，我们探讨了受自然灾害影响的地区如何通过间接或“阶段性”迁移来恢复其人口。具体而言，我们考虑这样一种观点，即受灾地区的灾后障碍（如住房和财产损失）引发了向受灾地区的迁移流，并且随着时间的推移，通过中间目的地流向受灾地区。以卡特里娜飓风过后五年的奥尔良教区为例，我们表明阶段性迁移占人口恢复的比例高达约四分之一。最后，我们讨论了我们工作的意义、局限性和潜在扩展。
