Formed in New Orleans on September 5, 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it organized aid where state systems and major relief agencies were absent, delayed, or inadequate [@commonground2024].</p> <p>Within this school, Common Ground matters because it shows how survivor-centered disaster response can move from immediate provision of food, water, and first aid into a broader infrastructure of clinics, house-gutting, legal support, anti-eviction work, and community-led rebuilding [@commonground2024; @katrinareader2006].</p>
