Study: Individuals in storm-ravaged communities may be less likely to accept support over time — even when they need it
A new Rice study of one middle-class community ravaged by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 finds that affected individuals were less likely to accept offers of support over time, even when they could use a helping hand. As the long road to recovery after hurricanes Helene and Milton begins, the same questions about whether to seek out and accept help are facing many communities across the Southeast region of the United States.
