          Abstract

          Based on data from 103 surveys of Puerto Rican migrants living in Florida and 54 in-depth interviews with a subgroup of them, we examine how Puerto Ricans who left the archipelago after Hurricane Maria have navigated settlement in their new homes. In this article, we observed and classified our participants’ descriptions of how they managed opportunities and challenges regarding education, employment, and social relations, the traditional benchmarks for the assessment of societal integration. We also observed how our participants described Covid-19’s interaction with these benchmarks. We found that our participants have experienced a series of cascading disasters since 2017—namely, Hurricane Maria, the earthquakes that affected Puerto Rico starting in late 2019, the humanitarian crises that followed both disasters, and now the global pandemic. These disasters, compounded with migration, have resulted in a process of adaptation to Florida in which social and labor-market integration and the ability to nurture social ties have been significantly diminished.

          Resumen

          Basándonos en los datos de 103 encuestas con migrantes puertorriqueños residentes en Florida y cincuenta y cuatro entrevistas a fondo con un subgrupo de estas personas, examinamos cómo los puertorriqueños que abandonaron el archipiélago después del huracán María han lidiado con la adaptación a sus nuevos hogares. En este artículo observamos y clasificamos las descripciones de los participantes: cómo manejaron las oportunidades y los retos relacionados con la educación, el empleo y las relaciones sociales, que son los puntos de referencia tradicionales para evaluar la integración social. Observamos también cómo los participantes describían la interacción de la pandemia de COVID-19 con estos puntos de referencia. Encontramos que estas personas han experimentado una serie de desastres en cascada desde 2017, específicamente el huracán María, los terremotos que comenzaron a afectar a Puerto Rico a finales de 2019, las crisis humanitarias que siguieron a ambos desastres y ahora la pandemia global. Estos desastres, agravados por la migración, han tenido como resultado un proceso de adaptación a la Florida en el cual ha disminuido significativamente la integración social y laboral y la capacidad de nutrir los vínculos sociales.

              Traumatic loss and major disasters: strengthening family and community resilience.

              This article presents the core principles and value of a family and community resilience-oriented approach to recovery from traumatic loss when catastrophic events occur. In contrast to individually based, symptom-focused approaches to trauma recovery, this multisystemic practice approach contextualizes the distress in the traumatic experience and taps strengths and resources in relational networks to foster healing and posttraumatic growth. The intertwining of trauma and traumatic losses is discussed. Key family and social processes in risk and resilience in traumatic loss situations are outlined. Case illustrations, model programs, and intervention guidelines are described in situations of community violence and major disasters to suggest ways to foster family and community resilience.
