Ordered logistic regression models of hurricane exposure on happiness 1 year (T1) and 4 years (T2) after the disaster (N = 491)

	Happiness 1 year (T1) after Hurricane Katrina	Happiness 4 years (T2) after Hurricane Katrina
Variable	Odds ratio (SE)	Odds ratio (SE)
Family, neighbors, or close friends died as a result of Katrina (no = reference)	0.425^* (−0.15)	0.747 (−0.25)
Katrina-related stressors	0.869^** (−0.05)	0.857^** (−0.05)
Family, neighbors, or close friends died as a result of Katrina ^* Katrina-related stressors	1.198^* (−0.11)	1.001 (−0.09)
Level of Katrina damage to home (minimal = reference)
Serious Katrina damage to home	0.863 (−0.25)	0.797 (−0.23)
Enormous Katrina damage to home	0.984 (−0.28)	0.853 (−0.25)
Baseline happiness (not at all happy = reference)
Not very happy at T0	1.509 (−1.38)	1.187 (−1.31)
Somewhat happy at T0	4.96 (−4.35)	1.232 (−1.31)
Very happy at T0	12.293^** (−10.87)	2.317 (−2.47)
