The End of 2011!
The death of a close friend, Dave Cabrera, triple disaster in Japan, middle east revolutions, American domestic debates and demonstrations -- including the Occupy Wall Street, a Federal judge and US Congresswoman gunned down, the Arab Spring, in addition to the seasonal weather was especially hard on the south and midwest. that is especially harsh suggests there is more to come this year. I can be reached by email

Dear Site Visitor: Welcome! I have tried to make this site as simple and user-friendly as
possible. Please contact me
if you have any questions or if I can be of assistance.
Above are links to my publications, credentials, descriptions
of my programs of research, my doctoral students, and
humanitarian efforts -- including Hurricane
Katrina, my family, and more.
Among my passions, beyond my family and students is attending
to the enormous needs of our current generation of military troops,
veterans, and their families. No matter your opinions about war, you
might be interested in helping FSU collegiate
veterans or veteran
organizations at other colleges or universities. You might be
interested in veterans
health care, know a little bit about the history
of helping vets, or studying the immediate and long-term effects of
war service for the warfighters or their families, let me know.
A recent report on the terrible conditions of these troops are captured
in an Army
Mental Health (MHAT4) report. There is an excellent
book written by US soldier who survived a tour in Iraq . For
the families of those deployed, Sesame Street has partnered with Walmart
to offer a free Sesame Street DVD and kit. For ordering information:

I have been a member of the academy since 1971. I enjoy academic life,
particularly graduate education leading to disaster resilience. We hope to develop several PhDs at Tulane that focuses on disaster resilience. We hope to soon have a growing group of graduate students focusing on resilience and human development in the wake of disasters. This resilience and human development in the wake of disasters is a focus that attracts faculty as well as students to New Orleans anyway. I have learned a great deal since arriving in New Orleans and feel proud to live and thrive here. My other passions involve
understanding and helping others help the traumatized and themselves.
I do this through my publications,
the journal and the Book
Series I edit, and my off-hours training
and lecturing throughout the world.
I hope that my web site links are useful to you and would like to
know what you think.
Sincerely,
Charles
