“…Studies show that more connections to social networks that can help to provide resources after disasters inhibit negative impacts on mental health (Wind, Fordham, and Komproe, 2011;Adeola and Picou, 2014;Flores, Camero, and Bayer, 2014;Matsuyama et al, 2016;Rung et al, 2017;Zahnow, Taylor, and Corcoran, 2019;Parks et al, 2020), even if these groups experience poorer mental health in the immediate disaster recovery period (Weil, Lee, and Shihadeh, 2012).
