Renter policies and rights in the context of disasters in the United States
Maternal stress and social support during Hurricane Florence
In theoretical research on disaster vulnerability, access to resources is critical for optimal outcomes. Studying the impact of a hurricane on maternal stress can expand theories of disaster vulnerability. This is a cross-sectional mixed-methods prospective study of maternal stress during Hurricane Florence in the United States. Results from chi-squares compared the proportion of respondents who reported having support for a financial emergency w…
The role of homelessness community based organizations during Covid‐19
People experiencing homelessness are vulnerable to disasters and hazards and are at risk for contracting COVID‐19. In this study, we gathered data from 10 community‐based organizations (CBO's) in the United States that work to provide services for people experiencing homelessness. The combined CBO's span across rural, urban, and a mixture of both settings. We identified three needs that the CBO's indicated to be urgent: (1) the increased need for…
Pregnancy, Birthing, and Postpartum Experiences During Covid-19 in the United States
The research aims of this project were to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum experiences in the United States. Our data include responses from 34 states within the US. Findings from our analyses indicate that higher perceived social support predicted higher scores of well-being, while higher scores of perceived loneliness predicted lower scores of well-being, and higher trauma predicted lower wel…
Analysis of Material Convergence, Logistics, and Organizational Typology of Animal Supplies in the 2018 Puna Lava Flow
The following paper is a case study on the Puna lava flow of May 2018 to analyze the group efforts and shifts in group tasks chronologically, specifically for the management of supplies for companion and farm animals. Data were recorded from a detailed tracking of social media forums in which people coordinated efforts for the movement of supplies. One of the researchers was also deployed for fieldwork to Hawaii during the lava flow to document r…
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 …
Companion Animals and Online Discourse
People often intentionally or unintentionally leave companion animals behind in an evacuation during a hazard event. In online animal rescue forums, people curate, comment on, and engage in posts during and after disasters. Many times, the content of the posts and comments to the posts are value-laden and examples of expressing moral policing about evacuation related to companion animals. To explore the content of posts related to rescue, reunifi…
Disaster preparedness and well-being among Cambodian– and Laotian–Americans
Purpose Using two main research questions, the purpose of this paper is to examine well-being and preparedness among Cambodian and Laotian immigrants living near the Gulf Coast of the USA, and the ways in which indicators such as sense of community and risk perception are related to these constructs. Design/methodology/approach This study employed a cross-sectional prospective design to examine disaster preparedness and well-being among Laotian a…
Time for Coalitions to Protect Immigrant Health
The article focuses on the need for a coalition to protect immigrant and asylum-seeker health. It comments on the deaths of Guatemalan child asylum-seekers Jackeline Caal and Felipe Gomez Alonzo who died in December of 2018 in U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody. It comments on barriers immigrants in the U.S. face in health care accessibility. It comments that DHS has failed to activate the Emergency Support Sheltering Function 6 u…
The Pets of Hurricane Matthew
The purpose of this research was to understand the ways in which ownership of companion animals influences evacuation decision-making, using Hurricane Matthew of 2016 as a case study. Using stated-choice surveys, this research identifies behavioral decisions made during and after the evacuations associated with the hurricane, and details how decisions were made for different types of pets and the various stressors and problems encountered during …
Maternal health services for refugee populations
The full scope of women's health needs is not necessarily addressed in refugee camps and after resettlement, particularly pregnancy and postnatal services. The aims of this research are to examine the maternal care services provided to refugee women in camps and after resettlement to the United States, and to analyse organisational successes and challenges in service provision. With this understanding, policies can improve service delivery for re…
The Effect of Mass Evacuation on Infant Feeding
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…
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 …

Emergency Response, Doctrinal Confusion, and Federalism in the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was accompanied by intergovernmental blame casting and criticisms similar to that of Hurricane Katrina. The federal response was often viewed as slow, state officials were unsure of their role, and local officials complained that they were not adequately consulted. However, natural and oil pollution disasters have relief and regulatory regimes based on doctrines different from those governing natural disasters. Thi…
