Universal health coverage for people experiencing homelessness in disasters
One of the primary objectives of delivering healthcare services during disasters is to prevent and minimize the impact of potential diseases, reduce fatalities, and provide assistance to people, especially those who are vulnerable. However, a vulnerable group that is often overlooked in this context is homeless individuals, who tend to receive inadequate healthcare services during disasters. To address this issue, a scoping review was conducted i…
Coastal emergency managers’ risk perception and decision making for the Tonga distant tsunami
On January 15, 2022, the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai (Tonga) volcano erupted and triggered a tsunami forecasted to reach North America. This event provided a unique opportunity to investigate risk perception and communication among coastal emergency managers and emergency program coordinators (EMs). In response, this research explores 1) how risk can be communicated most effectively and 2) how risk perceptions associated with ”distant” tsunami aler…

Opportunities for Implementation of Disaster Risk Management Strategies among Public Housing Authorities
Renters living in subsidized housing managed by Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) are vulnerable to disasters. This study aims to describe barriers, facilitators, and opportunities for the implementation of disaster risk management (DRM) strategies at PHAs. Fifteen semi-structured key informant (KI) interviews with federal and state housing officials, PHA leaders, and housing non-profit staff were conducted and thematically analyzed. Interviewees…
Neoliberalism, Climate Change, and Displaced and Homeless Populations
There is a growing attention to neoliberal policies and practices as they relate to climate change and housing within academic literature. However, the combined effects of neoliberal political and economic decisions on the interaction between climate change and displaced and homeless populations have not been substantially explored. In this paper, we identify and focus on three key re-emerging themes prevalent within neoliberal discourses: econom…
Assessing the roles and responsibilities of public housing authorities in state-level disaster plans
Barriers and facilitators to state public health agency climate and health action
As the impacts of climate change intensify, S/THAs will need to expand resources and capacity, and seek advocacy and assistance from external organizations in order to support the level of engagement required to strengthen climate resilience. Findings from this study have implications for public health policy and highlight potential pathways to expand support for climate and health activities in S/THAs in the U.S
The reproduction of vulnerability
Purpose This conversation focuses on the reproduction of vulnerability incarceration and homelessness and presents the reflections of scholars, writers, activists and practitioners. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on the conversations that took place on Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast livestream on the 31st of March 2022. Findings The prominent themes in this conversation include homelessness, incarceration, stigma and marginalis…
From pity to fear
Vulnerability is not only a shared basic condition, but also a condition of potential. In the context of disasters and crises, the concept of vulnerability is frequently used to portray individuals and groups as 'weak', 'threatened', and 'in need of help'. Occasionally, though, a shift occurs and the 'threatened'-and therefore usually the pitied-become those who are feared and hated, that is, they become a 'threat'. This paper explores how appare…
Improving Tropical Cyclone Forecast Communication by Understanding NWS Partners’ Decision Timelines and Forecast Information Needs
As tropical cyclone threats evolve, broadcast meteorologists and emergency managers rely on timely forecast information to help them communicate risk with the public and protect public safety. This study aims to improve the usability and applicability of National Weather Service (NWS) forecast information in the context of these NWS core partners’ decisions during tropical cyclone threats. The research collected and analyzed data from in-depth in…
Challenges to evidence-informed decision-making in the context of pandemics
INTRODUCTION: The exceptional production of research evidence during the COVID-19 pandemic required deployment of scientists to act in advisory roles to aid policy-makers in making evidence-informed decisions. The unprecedented breadth, scale and duration of the pandemic provides an opportunity to understand how science advisors experience and mitigate challenges associated with insufficient, evolving and/or conflicting evidence to inform public …

Using conjoint constitution to understand responses to slow-moving environmental change
A growing body of work exists on the social implications of forest insect disturbances. However, although increasingly explored, there remains a need to further understand social responses to large-scale forest insect disturbances over time. This requires longitudinal investigations into people’s conceptualizations of their changing local environments, associated risk perceptions, and forest management preferences in the context of forest insect …
Using an intersectional approach to advance understanding of homeless persons’ vulnerability to disaster
Too often groups deemed as ‘vulnerable’ are homogenized in terms of their characteristics and experiences leading up to, during and after disaster. Although important exceptions exist, the identities of members of marginalized groups such as homeless populations are frequently homogenized in practice without regard for the intersecting traits and contextual factors that result in unequal disaster and environmental outcomes. This paper explores th…
Native Americans
While the last two decades have seen important theoretical, empirical, and policy advancements in environmental justice generally, much remains to be done regarding Native Americans. Unique political and cultural dynamics shape the study and pursuit of environmental justice (EJ) in Native American communities. This review summarizes Native American EJ issues based on a cross-disciplinary search of over 60 publications. In so doing, we discuss the…
