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…
Urban gardening in public space: Policy approaches in Greater Sydney
Citizen-led initiatives, like urban gardening, are increasingly transforming urban public spaces. Such practices of DIY urbanism have prompted varied policy responses from local governments across the world. Public urban gardening is a form of citizen initiative that involves the small-scale appropriation of publicly accessible open space for gardening with or without the approval of the landowner, usually the local authority. Growing plants on p…
Community‐centred disaster recovery: A call to change the narrative
This paper challenges current approaches to undertaking community‐centred disaster recovery. Community‐centred approaches are widely recognised as ‘the gold standard’ for effective recovery from disasters. Yet, they are rarely applied well enough in practice. Challenges include the ‘authority’ culture of command‐and‐control agencies, the emphasis on discrete recovery time frames, and the reluctance to relinquish centralised control. The paper foc…
Progress and landscape of disaster science: Insights from computational analyses
This study identifies trends in disaster science research as well as knowledge gaps at a broad scale in order to help underpin and inform future research in the area. A numerical analysis of 58,106 peer-reviewed articles over four decades reveals key research themes and clusters, their temporal variation of activity as well as the influential studies that have played a key role in their development. Results indicate that what we recognize as cont…
Building age-inclusive disaster risk reduction: Insights among geographically mobile young adults in regional Australia
Community centred disaster risk reduction (DRR) is viewed as the gold standard, linking local networks, skills, capacities and knowledges together with government and nongovernment supports. However, despite the best of intentions young adults still experience exclusion due in part to adult centrism because initiatives are largely curated by adults. While research has sought to address this bias, outmigration by young adults at key life-stages cr…

Reshaping disaster management: An integrated community‐led approach
The management of disasters has traditionally involved public, private, and nongovernmental organisations working together. While scholars have examined the value of collaborations among these entities, less is known about how to successfully engage and empower communities in disaster management. Based on network governance theory, this article contributes to the growing body of public management literature on community engagement by presenting f…
Building cross-sector recovery collaborations after Australian bushfires: The Importance of Embracing and Linking Diverse Capitals and Capacities
The literature on disaster management highlights that communities that mobilise and integrate a range of local capacities, resources and knowledges tend to fare best. This demonstrates the critical, yet underappreciated, role these attributes play in disaster management. This paper contributes to scholarship by examining the conditions, values and practices for building effective cross-sector ties. Importantly, it highlights the need for decentra…
The critical role of community networks in building everyday resilience – Insights from the urban villages of Surabaya
The use of portable OSL and IRSL measurements of NaCl in low dose assessments following a radiological or nuclear emergency
During recovery phases following a nuclear or radiological incident analyses of doses received by members of the public and responders are often required. Several methods have been investigated for use at different timescales after the incident, including assessments based on measurements of materials present at the time of the incident. Common salt has previously been shown to have potential for retrospective dosimetry in the mGy dose range usin…
Corruption and disasters in the built environment: A literature review
This paper presents the findings of a review of academic literature concerning the degree to which corruption worsens disasters triggered by natural hazards in the built environment. The research employed a ‘systematic literature review’ methodology to analyse leading academic databases, resulting in a detailed analysis of 59 peer‐reviewed, published papers. It found that while much of the literature focuses on earthquakes (relating to building a…
Area-based approaches and urban recovery in the Pacific: Lessons from Fiji, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu
Flooding events are set to worsen in rapidly urbanising Pacific Islands. (1) Most Pacific Island cities and towns are in low-lying areas vulnerable to more severe tropical cyclones and rising sea levels. Approaches to disaster response and recovery need to improve. This article uses four principles drawn from area-based approaches (ABAs) – people-centred responses, adaptive processes, multi-sector collaboration and reflective practice – to review…

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges of transitional shelter provision for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in urban informal settlements. While there has been considerable research on postdisaster transitional shelters, less is known on shelters for IDPs in urban informal settlements. Design/methodology/approach A case study is presented based on field research at the communities in Olaria and City in São Paulo, Braz…
Investigating urban vulnerability and resilience: A call for applied integrated research to reshape the political economy of decision-making
There is growing recognition of the cumulative impact that converging environmental, political, social and economic risks have on the ability of cities to function in times of shocks and stresses. While many frameworks and assessment tools have been developed to assess the technical resilience of the infrastructure of cities, there have been fewer attempts to holistically understand and map all the factors that interact to potentially produce fun…
Late-Holocene palaeoenvironmental changes at Lake Esmeralda (Vega Island, Antarctic Peninsula) based on a multi-proxy analysis of laminated lake sediment
We have studied laminated sediments from Lake Esmeralda, Vega Island, in order to reconstruct its history. We describe both inorganic and organic components of the sediment using a combination of the following analytical methods: x-ray fluorescence (XRF), x-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic susceptibility measurement, chemical analysis for determination of cation exchange capacity, grain size determination, geochemical analyses (total inorganic car…

Building livelihoods to reduce risk among the most marginalized in urban areas: Strategic approaches from Dhaka
Urban poverty is mired in complexity, with a vast range of choices of issues for NGOs to become involved in. Within the generic grouping of ‘urban poor’ are large disparities, concerning income, status, access and control of resources and respective levels of vulnerability and discrimination. At the ‘bottom’ are the most marginalized. These are the ‘hated poor’ and include sex workers, drug users, the elderly and disabled, among others. For these…
NGO permanent housing 10 years after the Gujarat earthquake: Revisiting the Ficci–Care Gujarat rehabilitation programme
The January 2001 earthquake that struck the state of Gujarat in India damaged or destroyed some 8,000 villages and 490 towns. In the months and years after the earthquake, many organizations undertook widespread reconstruction programmes. One such collaboration between the NGO CARE India and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) built 5,554 permanent houses as well as schools and community centres in 23 villages. This…
