- Politics of cyclone evacuation: successful handling of Fani in Odisha,
India-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Biswanath Dash, Suchismita Satpathy, Shahid Akhter
Abstract: This paper explores the nature of politics involved in handling tropical cyclone “Fani” that struck Odisha on 3rd May 2019. The state government’s effort in evacuating one and a half million people in 24 h prior to the cyclone’s landfall was widely appreciated for minimizing the human death toll. The paper examines how public evacuation was carried out in the landfall region and the nature of meteorological warning services provided, in particular intensity forecasts. The study uses a social constructivist framework to examine the evacuation in the midst of a general election in 2019. It follows a qualitative approach and draws from the fieldwork carried out in Puri district, where 17 focused group discussions (FGDs) and 17 personal interviews (PIs) were conducted in 16 villages and one Urban Local Body (ULB). The management strategy hinged on an aggregation of evacuee numbers from different parts of the state instead of focusing on the region most vulnerable to the storm surge. This approach was effective because the intensity of a tropical cyclone is measured meteorologically through wind speed, without integrating the phenomenon of storm surge – the cause of most deaths in deadly cyclonic storms. A large evacuee figure in this context served two purpose – it shielded authorities from the scrutiny of performance on related fronts such as relief and rehabilitation and helped create a perception in the event of high casualties, maximum efforts were made. Primary data was collected from specific areas of Puri district, which by no means was representative of the entire district. The role of media that plays an important role in the framing and politicization of disasters, was also not explored. This effort adds a different dimension to the growing body of literature on “disaster politics.” It focuses on evacuation from a social constructivist perspective, highlighting the use of evacuation figures by the agencies to showcase efforts and as protection from critical scrutiny of their overall performance.

- Reparative planning through contextual vulnerabilities for disaster
mitigation: a Gulf Coast case study-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Eliza Breder, Jeff Carney
Abstract: Reparative planning, when paired with participatory research, can serve as a framework for addressing ongoing harms that enable disaster racism while building toward more equitable disaster mitigation. This paper discusses the intersection between disparate disaster impacts, environmental racism, compounding disasters and the role of contextualizing vulnerability. A participatory research framework is explored in the context of disaster recovery and mitigation, which led to uncovering the roots of institutional vulnerabilities experienced by the predominantly Black community of North Port St. Joe, Florida. The main findings include the significance of situated knowledge in the relational participatory process, the importance of redistributing decision-making power and the development of a desire-based reparative disaster mitigation framework in local hazard mitigation planning. Disaster impacts compound historic and ongoing environmental racisms, resulting in racialized disasters. Legacies of historic harms such as the placement of waste, infrastructural disinvestment and discriminatory housing policies present immediate and ongoing challenges in disaster recovery and mitigation. The compounding disaster of physical risks, environmental pollution and structural racism is a result of white supremacy and racial hierarchies mechanized through planning institutions, paradigms, co-opted narratives and political power. Reparative planning must be applied to contextualize and address disaster racisms specific to regional historicized political and economic geographies. It is imperative to understand the root of vulnerability as structural racism and to identify the specific institutional mechanisms that enable ongoing harms.

- Assessment of the effects of the disaster on the healthcare professionals
working in the area after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes: a qualitative
research-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Ayşenur Modanlıoğlu, Gülseren Keskin
Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the individual effects of the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras-centered earthquakes on healthcare workers. The population of this qualitative study consists of the healthcare professionals who volunteered to work in the field following the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquakes, and the sample consists of 10 healthcare professionals who provided healthcare services in the first 72 h. The data were obtained through in-depth interviews using a previously prepared semi-structured form. The data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. Four themes were determined based on their statements, which were grouped under the headings “positive effects,” “negative effects,” “professional effects” and “expectations.” It was determined in this study that healthcare workers experienced some negativities in their professional lives after the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquake as well as positive experiences; these positive situations occurred in the form of feeling more valuable after the earthquake, increasing their awareness about the earthquake, learning to consider events from a positive perspective, exhibiting more helpful attitudes and behaviors, not postponing issues that will make life meaningful and strengthening the bond they established with their families. In terms of professional achievements, it was determined that healthcare professionals could achieve significant levels of professional satisfaction, experience, team solidarity and empathic approach. On the other hand, it was concluded in this study that healthcare professionals encountered economic and physical challenges and that disasters increase psychosocial issues, including sleep disturbance, feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, powerlessness, withdrawal, claustrophobia and loss of meaning. The results achieved in this study revealed that even though disaster outcomes have negative effects on healthcare professionals, the experience gained is an important achievement for the discipline. Therefore, using the disaster experience gained by healthcare professionals as source data in planning healthcare services for disasters can yield improvements in the outcomes of the next disaster process. Moreover, the support that will be given to healthcare professionals to cope with their negative experiences is very important in terms of protecting experienced human resources in disasters. To increase the level of success in health services in case of disasters, future studies should integrate the experiences of health workers into health management in disasters and develop health policies that will reduce the negative consequences.

Authors: Christopher Gomez
Abstract: Demonstrate that hazards are not natural, in the likes of disasters. Reflection on the role of scale in defining what is a hazard or not. Hazards directly imply views that are shaped by communities, individuals and our very humanescence (scale, time-span). There is a need to further research the social and human aspects that shape what hazards really are. Although disasters are often recognized as not “natural,” such reflection has not started yet on the topic of hazards. This drawing will hopefully be a kick-start to it.

- Reshaping disaster experiences: lessons from Samoan women’s disaster
resilience-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Maria Koreti Sang Yum, Roger C. Baars
Abstract: Frequent disasters pose a significant threat to Indigenous societies, knowledge and cultures in the South Pacific. This paper will highlight the imperative to recognize and incorporate women and Indigenous knowledge in strengthening disaster risk reduction (DRR) within these societies. While existing research often emphasizes women’s vulnerability in disasters, there is a notable gap in documenting their resilience (Moreno and Shaw, 2018), particularly stemming from Indigenous women’s traditional roles and practices (Bajracharya et al., 2022). This paper will identify the application of traditional knowledge in responding to disaster risk and early warning systems, examine traditional knowledge systems and structures in local communities and assess the contribution of Samoan women in disaster preparations. Findings show the importance of recognizing and valuing the traditional expertise of Samoan women, providing essential insights for the development of contextually appropriate and sustainable disaster preparedness strategies. With Samoa as the case study, this paper will employ culturally relevant Pacific research approaches to investigate women’s preparedness and response capacities to disasters.

- Disaster time: reconceptualizing disasters and temporal politics
-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Andrew Russo
Abstract: The paper introduces disaster time as both an analytical concept and theoretical framework, reconceptualizing temporal dynamics in disaster contexts and challenging traditional, linear models of disaster response. It seeks to offer NGOs ideas to develop more equitable and adaptive practices by considering nonlinear, entangled temporalities that better address systemic vulnerabilities. This conceptual work introduces “disaster time,” employing process philosophy, governmentality studies and new materialist thought. Using a theoretical framework, the paper explores how nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) navigate complex temporalities in disaster governance systems. The paper reveals how NGOs are constrained by neoliberal disaster governance models that prioritize short-term recovery over systemic change. By adopting “disaster time,” NGOs can recognize overlapping temporalities, such as the prolonged effects of disasters on marginalized communities and advocate for temporal justice. Understanding and utilizing disaster time enables NGOs to meaningfully address recurring traumas and the lingering effects of disasters, encouraging the deployment of more adaptable disaster governance systems. This shift encourages NGOs to align their strategies with the realities of prolonged and complex crises, advocating for flexible, long-term funding and policies. This paper provides a novel perspective on temporal dynamics in disasters, emphasizing the intersection of human and non-human agencies and the inadequacies of traditional phase-based disaster management. “Disaster time” offers NGOs new pathways to challenge dominant disaster narratives.

- Collaborative governance based on Triple Helix strategy for disaster risk
reduction digitalization: experience from China-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Yixuan Gong, Ravi Singh, Jianing Mi
Abstract: Collaborative effort plays an important role in urban disaster risk reduction. The paper aims to explore how Shenzhen, China, has applied the Triple Helix strategy, integrating the efforts of government, industry and academia, to promote disaster risk reduction digitalization. In-depth interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 18 key informants (5–7 interviews per stakeholder group), specifically focusing on developing the Smart Emergency Management System. One of the co-authors conducted participatory observation in Shenzhen to gain valuable insights into the origins of the disaster risk reduction digitalization efforts in Shenzhen. The disaster risk reduction digitalization in Shenzhen was initiated based on the Triple Helix model. Specifically, collaborative efforts among policy-driven government, profit-driven industry and research interest-driven academia were taken to establish a digital system. As the project was implemented, citizens became increasingly involved through a new platform established by the government. The participation of citizens feeds back into the development of the disaster risk reduction system. The most important functions of digital projects are data sharing and sector connecting. In a country like China with a large land area, discussions at the local level involve different geographical environments, population characteristics and even local cultures. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to discuss more cases in different cultural backgrounds further. This paper fulfills a case to establish disaster risk reduction digitalization based on the Triple Helix strategy, serving as a practical example for other cities aiming to improve their digital management capacities, not limited to disaster, but other developments.

- Black women’s green blues: songs as black women’s environmental
expression and engagement in keeping a black feminist tradition
Open Access Article-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Jacquita N. Johnson
Abstract: Black women have been practically erased from reviews of environmentally-conscious songs. This may result from past findings demonstrating Black women’s disinterest in environmental issues, despite them having increased exposures to environmental degradation and subsequent adverse health outcomes. However, this assertion did not take into account Black women’s standpoints, nor the creative, alternative locations Black women use to express and engage in social issues—songs. In this paper, I utilize Black feminist thought, a critical social theory and its matrix of domination as an analytical framework to understand and analyze Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues through song. Sample lyrics from one of the most popular blues songs that focus on an environmental theme is analyzed: Bessie Smith’s “Backwater Blues.” By demonstrating the viability of this strategy, I simultaneously evidence how Smith kept Black feminist thought’s Black women’s blues tradition. This paper explores insights about an alternative location Black women use to express and engage in environmental issues– songs. It suggests that Black feminist thought’s matrix of domination is an effective analytical framework to highlight Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues and identify the power structures that shape them. It is also shown that Smith kept Black feminist thought’s Black women’s blues tradition. The environmental and related fields would benefit from incorporating Black feminist thought and creative expressions, such as songs, into the field to expand its thought, approaches and ultimately, its equitable impact. This paper builds on and expands existing environmental literature by analyzing Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues from a Black women’s standpoint through the use of songs.

- Navigating trauma: mental well-being after Kiteezi landfill collapse and
residential displacement in Uganda-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Mahadih Kyambade, Afulah Namatovu
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the mental health impacts of this disaster, focusing on the psychological resilience and vulnerability of displaced individuals. The study explores the mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that have emerged as a result of the sudden loss of homes, livelihoods and social networks. The research employed a phenomenological approach, conducting 20 in-depth interviews with adult residents of Kiteezi who were displaced by the landslide. The interviews, conducted in English and transcribed for analysis, focused on three primary phenomena: landslides, displacement and mental well-being. Findings reveal that the collapse of the Kiteezi landfill had profound mental health impacts on the displaced residents, with widespread reports of anxiety, depression and PTSD. The loss of homes and livelihoods, coupled with the uncertainty surrounding resettlement, exacerbated these mental health challenges. The study’s implications are significant for disaster response and mental health intervention strategies. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive mental health support for displaced individuals, emphasizing the importance of addressing both immediate psychological needs and long-term resilience-building. This study is original in its focus on the specific context of the Kiteezi landfill collapse, contributing to the limited literature on the mental health impacts of environmental disasters in Uganda. It provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between environmental disasters, displacement and mental well-being, offering practical recommendations for improving disaster response and recovery efforts in similar settings.

the case of the 2019 Northeast floods in Iran-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Atoosa Hassani, Mahmood Fayazi, Zoheir Mottaki, Morteza Adib, Ramin Dehbandi, Yasamam Khalili Gheidari, Fatemeh Seraji
Abstract: This study investigates why Turkmen women’s traditional handicraft skills have declined and explains how the local, traditional craft skills accelerated the post-flood recovery of Turkmen women in the aftermath of the 2019 Northeast floods in Iran. The research adopts a case study approach, employing reflective thematic analysis. Post-disaster recovery spurred a shift from traditional to modern lifestyles through new housing designs, enhanced female literacy and greater economic participation. However, this transition devalued traditional crafts due to heightened household chores, material scarcity and reduced market demand. Nonetheless, women with craft skills played a pivotal role in household recovery by repairing damaged items and crafting dowries for their daughters, illustrating their contribution to social and economic resilience. These research findings shed light on the importance of traditional craft skills in enabling the female household member, in particular, to recover from disasters and contribute to the recovery of their households and communities. The originality of this study lies in its focus on the specific context of Turkmen women’s traditional craft skills and their role in post-disaster recovery, particularly after the 2019 Northeast floods in Iran. While there is existing research on post-disaster recovery mechanisms, this study uniquely examines the under-researched impact of traditional craft skills on the recovery process, specifically for female household members.

- Policies and actions to support surfers in drowning prevention: insight
from Aotearoa New Zealand-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Loïc Le Dé, Jamie Mead
Abstract: Every year, thousands drown at coastal beaches worldwide. In recent years, several studies have documented the contribution of surfers in rescuing people from drowning. It is increasingly recognised that policies and actions should be developed to support surfers’ roles in drowning prevention. To date, limited studies have examined surfers’ views on the ways to empower them in preventing drowning, including the opportunities and barriers to implement such actions. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap and make policy recommendations to support surfers towards reducing drowning risk. The research focused on Aotearoa New Zealand. It involved a mixed-methods approach with a questionnaire-based survey distributed nationally with 248 respondents and a focus group discussion using participatory methods with 12 surfers’ participants. The data produced were analysed thematically. The study found that empowering New Zealand surfers in drowning prevention should involve training that caters for surfers’ experience and specific needs, strengthening collaboration with lifeguards, facilitating access to key rescue and resuscitation resources at coastal beaches and developing communication strategies that highlight surfers’ role for drowning prevention. The study highlights that surfers make a considerable contribution to drowning reduction: it is critical that policymakers and practitioners work closely with surfers in their drowning prevention and water safety strategies. This research provides novel information about surfers’ views on ways to support them towards playing a greater role in drowning prevention. It makes actionable recommendations geared towards policymakers and practitioners involved in drowning prevention and disaster risk management.

- Risk communication in risk-based planning: a practice in coastal area of
Subang regency, Indonesia-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Permana Ari Soejarwo, Fikri Zul Fahmi, Djoko Santoso Abi Suroso
Abstract: This paper aims to explore the extent to which risk communication has been implemented into spatial planning practice in Indonesia by using the coastal area of Subang Regency as a case study. Risk communication in risk-based planning (RBP) is the process of exchanging information about risk and hazards between all actors which emphasizes determining the level of risk acceptance of communities to support appropriate decision making in spatial planning. It has been proven effective in developed countries, but it remains unclear in Indonesia. The study uses qualitative methods by analyzing documents and interviews with local stakeholders to explain how risk communication is implemented in RBP at the regency level. This study reveals that risk communication is not explicitly incorporated into RBP regulations and impacts its practices. The absence of a clear definition and guidelines in regulations is leading to limited understanding at all government levels. The emphasis on community risk acceptance levels as the core of risk communication in RBP has not been conducted, where the existing focus is still majorly on disaster events. This has led to improper spatial planning decisions. Incorporating risk communication in RBP is important in spatial planning practice in Indonesia. Without effective community engagement, clear definition and guidelines on community’s acceptable risk levels, spatial planning efforts may not align with local needs, leading to social conflicts and hindering appropriate spatial planning. For instance, land use policy for community that is willing to tolerate the risk should be permitted with specified consideration instead of offering relocation options that potentially lead to social unrest by conflicting with their social, economic and cultural. Integrating risk communication into RBP can result in a more adaptive and appropriate spatial planning decisions. This study offers a novel exploration of risk communication which is important to be integrated into the RBP in a locality in Indonesia, focusing on both regulatory factors and practices to support appropriate decision making in spatial planning. This paper is important because study on risk communication in RBP in Indonesia is still scarce.

- Latin American perspectives on slow disasters
Open Access Article-

Abstract: This forum article discusses the concept of slow disasters from Latin America, presenting different perspectives and experiences of practical research using this notion. It discusses the extent to which a focus on the “slow” temporality of disasters advances our understanding of socio-environmental processes in the region. The article emerges from a pilot project to explore the relevance of temporality to analyse socio-environmental injustices in Latin America, which was followed by a panel organised at the 2023 NEEDS Conference in Enschede, The Netherlands, where four panellists presented first hand research experiences with the concept of slow disasters. The article presents myriad usages of slow disasters and related concepts in Latin America and includes empirical cases from Peru, Chile and Argentina, highlighting different critical dimensions of their temporalities. It shows the analytical power of slow disaster to help understand disasters as gradual processes of normalisation of environmental injustices and vulnerabilities due to the slower pace of visible material impact to affected groups and their continuous adaptation to their exposure to it. The article reflects on the potential use of this concept by Latin American scholars and contributes to applications in other regional contexts. The paper adds a conceptual discussion on the notion of slow disasters as reflected from different Latin American geographies. The paper contributes to ongoing strands of postcolonial disaster studies, departing from empirically grounded conceptualisations of disaster by Latin American scholars and promoting a constructive dialogue with academic debates dominated by the Anglophone scholarly literature.

- Representations of foreign nationals in Japanese disaster risk reduction
policy: increasing alignment with a “whole community” discourse
Open Access Article-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Patrick Cadwell
Abstract: This article examines how foreign nationals have been represented in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) policy discourse in Japan in recent decades and analyses the consequences these representations have had for foreign nationals’ DRR there. The article reports on a monolingual, corpus-based, critical discourse analysis of 23 years of White Papers on Disaster Management in Japan to assess the discourse representations of foreign nationals in the policy texts over three chronological periods: 2001–2008, 2009–2016 and 2017–2023. The article finds that the way the Government of Japan has communicated to stakeholders about foreign nationals through its policy has increasingly included them into a “whole community” discourse of DRR. This is significant because research has shown that foreign nationals have long gone un- or under-recognised in relevant DRR policies and have been insufficiently considered at local levels. If they are now better represented in policy as local community members, there is hope that their risk of negative consequences in times of disaster will truly be reduced. This contribution is novel in that it addresses a nexus between discourse, policy communication and a social problem of inclusion and engagement of foreign nationals in DRR that has not been published elsewhere, but that nonetheless engages with ongoing academic conversations about inclusivity, vulnerability and community-based DRR approaches.

- Unequally prepared: a distributive equity study of local emergency
management funding in Virginia, USA-
Free pre-print version: Loading...
Authors: Hans Louis-Charles, Sahar Derakhshan, Amidu Kalokoh, Curtis Brown, Anthony Starke
Abstract: Recent US federal executive orders have prioritized equity within the federal government, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has declared equity as a foundational pillar in their 2022–2026 Strategic Plan. This research study investigates the distributive equity of the most locally disseminated FEMA grant, the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG). The Commonwealth of Virginia was selected for our research study due to its exposure to natural hazards, recent disaster losses, variance among local emergency management programs, and high-profile political disputes against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. EMPG data from 2020 to 2023 were analyzed for correlations with social vulnerability (SoVI®), community resilience (BRIC), previous disaster losses (SHELDUS), and the National Risk Index (NRI). A difference of means test was conducted on the jurisdictions that opted out of participation in the EMPG. Virginia’s current EMPG funding is allocated disproportionately to wealthier local jurisdictions with lower social vulnerability, higher community resilience, and lower previous disaster losses. Jurisdictions that opted-out or received the minimum amounts had a disproportionately higher amount of total disaster losses. This study provides a novel approach to evaluating the equity of public funding dedicated to local disaster preparedness. The findings are instructive to federal lawmakers, state governments and global initiatives in climate resilience with a similar allocation process focused solely on population sizes. The framework of this research study is easily replicable, and the metrics are publicly available for future researchers.
