Converging together to confront multiple intersecting and cascading disasters
Purpose The Disaster Justice Network (DJN) is a volunteer network that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic to lend support and share critical information that was not easily accessed for the 2020 and 2021 Hurricanes Laura, Delta, Zeta and Ida recovery processes in coastal Louisiana. We discuss lessons learned on navigating challenges, questions and the possibilities for reducing harms and how these insights potentially transfer to other webs of …
Mapping Rural Local Government Capacity for Climate Resilience Projects in the United States
Local government capacity gaps are primary barriers to implementing climate adaptation and disaster resilience projects. While over 85% of US municipalities have fewer than 10,000 people, the extent to which capacity restricts adaptation in rural governments is not understood. This research addresses that gap by developing a national Rural Capacity Index using indicators that highlight challenges disproportionately faced by rural places. When res…
Do the type of impact and vulnerability dimension matter when assessing natural hazard vulnerability
Mapping multiscalar power for fair, effective climate policy discourse
Mainstream climate policy discourse obscures power disparities between those who contribute the most to climate change and those who are hit the hardest, particularly in discussions regarding the appropriate targets for intervention, including behavioral change. We reflect and critique this obfuscation of power in policy debates, and as a corrective, we identify actors with high levels of climate responsibility and high capacity for mitigation an…
Ground Zero' for Climate Crisis
Decisions about climate change adaptation are informed by technical information, but they are also shaped by social and political factors and impacted communities. Given the realities of a changing climate, more research is needed to examine how technically trained practitioners and other actors describe their work in relation to social and political factors. This article contributes to knowledge on this topic by analyzing the narratives of 62 or…
Inequalities and interrelations
While the sociology of disasters was slow to incorporate the study of inequality in analyses, recent research in the field has centered the study of inequality. Powered by changing empirical terrain in the form of climate change and by theoretically engagement with other sociological subfields, our article showcases how this research analyzes inequality by tracing three research motifs of scale, time, and feedbacks. Using a data set of nearly 200…
The (In)Dispensability of Environmental Justice Communities
This case study analyzes how climate adaptation actors in coastal Louisiana undermine the justice concerns of coastal communities comprising Native American, Black, Southeast Asian, Hispanic, and working-class people. The homes, livelihoods, and cultures of these environmental justice (EJ) communities are threatened not only by climate disasters and ecological degradation, but also by adaptation projects proposed and backed by the state and feder…
Who knows what comes tomorrow?” A study of resilience discourse, practice, and politics in a post-disaster field
Using an empirical case study of resilience programs after a flooding disaster in Boulder County Colorado, I explore the factors that motivate individuals involved in disaster recovery and emergency management to engage in discourses and practices centered around institutionalizing resilience, withstanding shocks and stressors, and fostering connection as a way to deal with social inequality. This study contributes to a growing body of critical r…
Social Vulnerability and Procedural Equity
To date, there has been limited research conducted on disaster aid allocation across multiple regions and disasters within the United States. In addition, there is a paucity of research specifically connecting social indicators of vulnerability to public assistance grants aimed at restoring, rebuilding, and mitigating against future damages in disasters. Given these gaps, this article inquires as to whether the Federal Emergency Management Agency…
