A Holistic Approach to Early Warning Systems Using an Agent-Based Model
Developing an early warning system requires four key components: risk knowledge, hazard detection (including monitoring and forecasting), dissemination (involving decision making and warning issuance), and response (including action implementation). Early warning system (EWS) provides an integrated system to facilitate timely responses to hazards. To assess the effectiveness of an EWS, a systems-based approach that holistically captures its criti…
Ecosystem-based DRR in urban Sri Lanka
Ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction is gaining increasing recognition as a sustainable alternative to engineered methods for mitigating disaster risks. Although implemented worldwide, numerous Ecosystem-based DRR projects largely rely on Western scientific frameworks, frequently neglecting the local knowledge, actions, and perspectives embedded in the socio-economic and cultural contexts of local populations. This study aims to understand how…
The adaptive shift
Disaster and Emergency Management (DEM) systems are increasingly challenged by the complexity and interconnectedness of today's DEM environment. While rigid, phased-based approaches to DEM provide valuable structural frameworks, they often fail in addressing the dynamic, non-linear, and unpredictable nature of contemporary disasters. This paper critically examines key challenges in DEM, including non-linearity, complexity, and the coordination of…
Policies and actions to support surfers in drowning prevention
Purpose 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 …
Constructivist Networked Grounded Theory
This paper introduces Constructivist Networked Grounded Theory (CNGT), an innovative methodology designed to address the analytical limitations of both Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) and Social Network Analysis (SNA) when applied independently to complex systems. In contexts such as Disaster and Emergency Management (DEM), where meaning-making processes are tightly interwoven with relational dynamics, existing methodologies often fail to pr…
Bridging gaps between disaster risk reduction and drowning prevention
Drowning is a form of silent and neglected disaster. Hundreds of thousands die every year from drowning, with cumulated fatalities surpassing that of large-scale disasters. However, research on drowning is largely absent from disaster studies and global and national disaster risk reduction policy frameworks rarely mention drowning risk and the related strategies for strengthening water safety. Drowning is mainly framed as a public health issue be…
The unexplored role of surfers in drowning prevention
Every year people drown while visiting coastal beaches. Increasingly, studies indicate that bystanders play a critical role in rescuing people from drowning. However, very limited research has explored the contribution surfers make to reducing fatal drowning. This research examined aquatic bystander rescues conducted by surfers in Aotearoa, New Zealand. It analysed their characteristics and the conditions under which they took place. The study dr…
Homelessness and Covid-19 in New Zealand
People experiencing homelessness have traditionally received limited attention in disaster research and disaster risk reduction policy. The COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on the vulnerable conditions of urban homelessness during emergency with unprecedented response efforts. Focusing on Aotearoa New Zealand, this research analyses homeless people's experiences of the COVID-19 and examines the policies and actions developed by government agencie…
Participation as a requirement
Uneven recovery
Over the last 15 years, a growing literature has suggested that remittances are important for post-disaster recovery in many developing countries. Yet, limited research has explored the complex relationships between remittance senders and receivers during and after disasters. The focus is on remittance-receiving households in Tacloban City in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan. This study identifies five main factors that affect the ability of …
Post-disaster research
Purpose This conversation presents the reflections from four inspirational early career disaster scholars on the opportunities and challenges associated with post-disaster research and disaster studies in general. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on the conversations that took place on Disasters: Deconstructed Podcast livestream on the 15th September 2021. Findings The prominent themes in this conversation include representation, p…
Exploring the use of the Quake Safe House video game to foster disaster and disaster risk reduction awareness in museum visitors
Measuring resilience
Purpose Resilience has become a priority of most agendas for disaster risk reduction at different scales leading to an increase demand for measurement of resilience. However, resilience is mostly defined, assessed and measured by outsider experts rather than by those primarily concerned – local people. This article presents the development of people-centred indicators of resilience in New Zealand. It details both the process and outcomes of these…
Transnational migration and disaster risk reduction
Migrants can be disproportionately impacted by disasters due to their increased vulnerability. Knowledge of Chinese migrants' perceptions and experiences in the face of hazards and disasters is limited. This qualitative descriptive study explored Chinese migration in relation to disasters and disaster risk reduction in New Zealand. Semi‐structured interviews with 22 Chinese migrants living in Auckland were conducted and data were thematically ana…
Whose views matter in post-disaster recovery? A case study of “build back better” in Tacloban City after Typhoon Haiyan
‘Serious’ Disaster Video Games
Scholars, practitioners and educators propose video games as innovative teaching methods to engage geography students. A methodological framework, informed by constructivist learning theory, explored the ability of ‘serious’ disaster video games to foster student participation in learning within four New Zealand schools. The findings indicate the utilization of video games within the classroom requires further consideration of the teaching and le…
Localising the UN cluster approach
The cluster approach is a coordination mechanism implemented by the United Nations (UN) in 2005 to improve the effectiveness of humanitarian responses during and after disasters. To date, more than 36 countries have used the UN cluster system. Yet, studies investigating the efficacy of this coordination mechanism at a national level are limited. Research adopting a long-term approach to the cluster by exploring whether this system provides an eff…
The role of religious beliefs and practices in disaster
Purpose Over the last few years, there has been an increase of research interest on the role of religion in disaster. While some emphasize the positive role of religions during and after disasters, others rather point out that religion may lead to low perception of risk and create a fatalistic attitude in the face of such events. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the vivid debate on the role of religious beliefs and practices in disas…
An integrative approach to understand vulnerability and resilience post-disaster
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a multidimensional approach for effectively managing natural disasters; this paper has three research objectives. First, it provides an analysis on the hydro-geomorphological effects of the cyclone in the urban context. Second, it proposes an analysis for the vulnerability and resilience recovery of the populations living in urban areas. Third, it specifies the implications for sustainable recovery …
Participatory numbers for integrating knowledge and actions in development
This article discusses the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of quantitative participatory methods and participatory numbers for integrating locals’ and outsiders’ knowledge, as well as actions from the bottom-up and top-down, in development. It places emphasis on the contribution of quantitative participatory methods and participatory numbers to foster dialogue between a wide range of stakeholders, for example, local people, N…
Poverty and Disasters
In many low-income countries, remittances are important in sustaining people’s livelihood and become even more significant during disasters. Meanwhile, the literature suggests that remittances are mainly accessible to middle and upper-income households, rather than to the poorest, thus implying differential capacities amongst households to overcome crises. The present study uses cyclone Evan that hit Samoa in December 2012 as a case study to test…
Remittances in the face of disasters
Academics doing participatory disaster research
Participatory methods in disaster research and disaster risk reduction are increasingly used by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government agencies, and academics. The three key principles of participatory research are: (a) empowering the powerless, (b) instigating changes at policy level, and (c) generating sustainable solutions that match with local communities' needs. Yet, academic research is inherently extractive and local people are …
