The document discusses the economic impacts of hurricanes and shows that while hurricanes initially cause job and home sales losses, the affected areas typically see strong job growth and rising home sales 6-12 months later as rebuilding efforts take place. Graphs and data show examples of this pattern for New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Punta Gorda, Florida after Hurricane Charlie, with both areas experiencing higher employment within a few years. Additional charts track broader economic indicators like national job and home sales growth after 2004's Hurricane Charlie.
