Desalted waters
Purpose This research centers on islander crisis experiences, unveiling five interconnected layers of water injustice, each contributing to the systemic vulnerabilities. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative analysis of interviews, field observations and reviews of official reports from 2016–2023 conducted under an expedited review approved by the Institutional Review Board. The research adopts a political ecology approach, incorporating a laye…
“It’s just this lingering, hovering thing …” Professionals supporting individuals under community supervision during disasters
Although a growing body of literature examines the intersection of disasters and the criminal legal system, the experiences of individuals under community supervision during disasters are not well understood. Additionally, there is limited understanding of how professionals working in organizations and agencies support these individuals. This study expands our knowledge by examining two research questions: 1) What are the experiences of individua…
Evacuating Pets and People
Increasingly, research focuses on challenges associated with people threatened by disasters but who refuse evacuation without their pets. Less attention is paid to decision making processes and costs of evacuating or sheltering-in-place with pets. Pet owners consider whether or not to evacuate, but—importantly—they also consider the financial costs of staying at pet-friendly shelters, securing necessary supplies for safe pet evacuation, and the i…
The Point of No Return
In the aftermath of disasters, material convergence (the influx of material donations) can cause extreme negative impacts and has been described as a second disaster. Donations that are nonpriority or low-priority goods, or in excess of need, can have negative impacts on transportation into and storage within the affected area. For routine supply chains, successful supply access partially lies in the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Th…
Evaluation of Hurricane Evacuation Order Plans
This paper introduces an approach to evaluate the performance of a previously implemented or proposed hurricane evacuation plan that describes where and when official evacuation orders are issued. The approach involves use of the new integrated scenario-based evacuation (ISE) decision support tool to define a best track evacuation plan as a reference point and measure the performance of other plans in relation to that according to their ability t…
Compounded Social Vulnerability
We use an exploratory case study method and documentary analysis to review parole policies in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. We find that parole policies in each state fail to address how parolees should respond during disasters and the implications for compliance failure. Conditions of parole, and parole policies and procedures (or lack thereof) can make it extremely difficult for individuals on parole to successfully and simultaneously navigate…
Hurricane evacuation beliefs and behaviour of inland vs. coastal populations
Although hurricanes can cause severe hazard effects well inland, little is known about the evacuation behaviour of inland populations compared to coastal populations. Using survey data collected in the United States after Hurricanes Florence (2018), Michael (2018), Barry (2019), and Dorian (2019), we investigate differences between coastal and inland populations in evacuation decisions and timing, and their causes. The data indicate that coastal …
Disaster Research and the Second Environmental Crisis
Disaster Relief as Social Action
Disaster relief involves a broad range of participants, which often results in a disjunction between actual disaster needs and the perception of appropriate strategies in relief provision. This research examines data collected through interviews with donation drive operators responding to Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and the May 2013 Oklahoma tornadoes. Using Weber's ideal types of social action to understand motivations for engaging in disaster reli…
Scared of the Shelter from the Storm
Theories about fear of crime may offer insights about the use of public shelters in disaster situations. This study focuses on fear of victimization and gendered explanations of fear of crime in public shelters during hurricane events. From surveys of 424 North Carolina residents, 179 respondents described safety concerns with staying in a public shelter. Fear of victimization was the most commonly identified safety concern in connection to antic…

American Dunkirk
A mixed method study of hurricane evacuation
The present paper examines the role of several demographic indicators on stated hurricane evacuation thresholds, or the lowest category storm for which participants indicated they would evacuate, for mandatory and voluntary orders. Quantitative analyses reveal that race was significantly associated with a lower stated evacuation threshold in both the bivariate and multivariate models and that previous refusal to comply with evacuation orders was …
Trans‐System Social Ruptures
This essay takes up a recently introduced term, trans‐system social ruptures (TSSRs), and demonstrates its applicability to understanding ruptures to transnational systems. Using the relationship between Canada and the United States as a focus point, the article differentiates national from transnational system social ruptures. The article goes on to explore national and transnational system vulnerability to and resiliency from TSSRs. The distinc…
A snapshot of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the societal impacts and consequences of the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Design/methodology/approach One month after the tsunami, a group of social science researchers from the Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware, and the Emergency Administration and Planning Program, University of North Texas, participated in an Earthquake Engineering Research Institute reconnaissance team,…
Elements of Resilience After the World Trade Center Disaster
In this paper we examine the reconstitution of the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) after its destruction in the World Trade Center attack, using that event to highlight several features of resilience. The paper summarises basic EOC functions, and then presents conceptions of resilience as understood from several disciplinary perspectives, noting that work in these fields has sought to understand how a natural or social system that experiences d…
