A Guide to the 10-year Retrospectives of the September 11th Terrorist Attacks

چکیده
As it should, the field of disaster research has always been responsive to real-world events. Each disaster raises new questions, calls attention to shortcomings in the existing knowledge base, and prompts new researchers to enter the field. Thus, historically, progress in understanding disaster effects leaps forward after particularly catastrophic or newsworthy events. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (9/11) triggered literally dozens of studies that crossed the range of affected populations. Most studies were conducted in New York City (NYC), NY, of course, but several studies also examined the broad impact of 9/11 across the country.
