This chapter examines the dynamics of entitlement and access, and the degree to which economic and social capital are substitutes during and after natural disasters. It explores how individuals manage a shock from a natural disaster by accessing a spectrum of social and economic assets, and it illustrates the importance of accounting for social capital and its affect on access to entitlements during and after shocks like natural disasters. This chapter discusses substitution of economic and social capital to explain in part why and how shocks affect certain groups disproportionately.
