Case study 5 Women will rebuild Miami: a case study of feminist response to disaster This study focuses on women’s role in disaster recovery, centred on the events that occurred in 1994 in Miami caused by Hurricane Andrew. The gender-based vulnerability of women to hazards is well documented (Wiest et al., 1994; Blaikie et al., 1994) but women’s role in proactive work after disasters is less explored. They have been typecast as helpless victims, giving men the position of instrumental workers in the recovery of disaster. Gender relations in the late 20th century tend to place women in roles central to disaster recovery, based on their traditional community-building roles. Sociologists and social historians have documented women’s history as activists on issues pertaining to the matter. Just as well, disasters may also break down the traditional infrastructure we know, leading to more visibility in their contributions to disaster relief. Women’s voluntary efforts in disaster organizations make them central players in relief agencies, as is the case with the Red Cross. Hurricane Andrew hit the southernmost part of Miami, Florida, on August 23, 1992, displacing over 180,000 people and destroying the supporting infrastructure for a population of 375,000. Every cultural group was affected. Human and social service agencies stretched their resources to assist in disaster recovery. This led to the foundation of We Will Rebuild, an elitist, male dominated, culturally misrepre- senting relief group, which received much criticism for its approach, efficacy and management of funds. As a counterpoint, Women Will Rebuild emerged as a coalition of women’s groups focusing on directing resources to the crisis needs of women and their families. The coalition which included at one point over 50 women’s groups became a force rallying for the improvement of women’s rights in the decision-making process for disaster relief. They achieved a slightly larger representation of women on We Will Rebuild’s roster, as well as the creation of two new committees (Families and Children, and Domestic Violence) among other things. Women Will Rebuild succeeded in uniting a wide range of women’s communities around a single issue in a time of crisis. The coalition was however severely criticized by malecentred organizations as not being able to deliver, and having feminist values as part of the infrastructure which conflicted with their goals.
