Left Behind: Disability, Disasters, and the Forgotten Victims of Hurricane Katrina

In this episode of Clarissa Explains, host Clarissa Sanders examines the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina, 20 years after the storm ravaged the Gulf Coast. With an estimated 1,800 lives lost and entire communities uprooted, the hurricane remains one of the deadliest and costliest disasters in U.S. history. But beyond the headlines, Katrina exposed deep systemic failures, particularly for people with disabilities. Clarissa explores how people with disabilities were systematically excluded from emergency planning and emergency responses before, during, and after the storm. Through personal stories, like that Benilda "Benny" Caixeta, this episode sheds light on the heartbreaking realities many faced: inaccessibility, abandonment, and preventable deaths. The episode also looks at the changes prompted by the disaster, from federal reforms to local initiatives. TW: Death and drowning, Abandonment and neglect of vulnerable individuals, Medical euthanasia, Systemic ableism and discrimination, Elder neglect, and Graphic descriptions of disaster aftermath and suffering.

The Neighborhood that Fought Back: The Love Canal Disaster

On April 27, 1979, a 9-year-old girl named Suzanne should have been blowing out birthday candles. Instead, she was holding a protest sign at the Niagara Falls Convention Center, standing up against a silent poison leaking into her home and community: the Love Canal. In this episode of Clarissa Explains, host Clarissa Sanders dives into the haunting legacy of the Love Canal disaster—America’s first federally declared man-made environmental emergency. Through gripping history and personal storytelling, she explores the buried chemical waste, the grassroots activism that sparked national change, and the human cost of environmental negligence. Joined by her mother Suzanne, a former Love Canal resident, Clarissa weaves together memory and history to uncover the disaster’s lasting impact on families, communities, and U.S. environmental law.

Unregulated Waters: The Home and Pulaski Steamboat Disasters

In this episode of Clarissa Explains, host Clarissa Sanders dives into two deadly steamboat disasters in American history: the wreck of the Home in 1837 and the explosion of the Pulaski in 1838. These maritime tragedies shocked the nation, claimed over 200 lives, and exposed the dangers of unregulated steam travel. Through survivor accounts, newspaper reactions, and historical analysis, Clarissa uncovers how public outrage and mounting loss of life pressured Congress to act, ultimately leading to the 1838 Steamboat Act, the first federal law to regulate private industry for public safety. From tales of heroism and negligence to the political tension between free enterprise and government oversight, this episode tells the story of how two steamboats changed the course of American consumer protection laws.
