Pilot Study (DNORPS)

The Displaced New Orleans Residents Pilot Study, funded with seed money from RAND, was designed to examine the current location, well-being, and plans of people who lived in the City of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck on 29 August 2005. The study was based on a representative sample of pre-Katrina dwellings in the City of New Orleans. Fieldwork focused on tracking respondents wherever they currently resided, including back to New Orleans. Respondents were administered a short paper-and-pencil interview by mail, by telephone, or in person. The pilot study was fielded in the fall of 2006, approximately one year after Hurricane Katrina.
