Mobile Homes Shattered
The storm had differing impacts across neighborhoods. Mobile home communities, for instance, were heavily affected by the hurricane. After Ian, trailers in Palmetto Palms RV Resort were left seriously damaged. Some peoples’ homes were left flipped or broken to pieces.
Lots of previous research has demonstrated that factors like race and socioeconomic status correlate with community resilience following disaster. People with less money are more likely to incur worse impacts, less likely to recover, and more likely to be left homeless, according to a 2017 report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
