Crime on Postbuyout Open Space
In the aftermath of environmental disasters, communities across the globe are implementing household relocation programs as hazard mitigation strategies. In the United States, these programs are known as buyouts, which relocate people and structures out of high-risk areas, managing the acquired land as open space. Typically, buyout open spaces are managed as vacant lots, which more generally are associated with increased crime and blight. Using a…
The Influence of Power on Post-Buyout Land Management Practices
U.S. government agencies execute home relocation programs, known as buyouts, in flood-prone areas to reduce hazard exposure. By converting the buyout properties into open space, these governmental agencies assume ownership and management responsibilities. As with all landscapes, the post-buyout landscape reflects power dynamics and institutional forces that shape how the land is managed, perceived, and used. For acquired properties, historic hous…
Flashpoints between wildfire recovery & mitigation in northern California
Biophilia as climate justice for post-buyout land management
Upheaval”
A growing body of literature demonstrates that both place attachment and social capital play considerable, and likely interdependent, roles in disaster recovery. This paper contributes to our understanding of these constructs by presenting findings from a longitudinal, mixed‐methods study of communities impacted by a home buyout program implemented in New York after Hurricane Sandy ( N = 111). Results suggest a dynamic balance between place depen…
From Hazard Mitigation to Climate Adaptation
With the onset of climate change resulting in more frequent hazard events and coastal inundation, communities are considering buyouts as a tool for climate adaptation. Despite a growing body of research, there has never been a systematic review of the literature on buyout programs, although our ability to implement buyouts successfully relies on a thorough understanding of buyout policy, design, implementation, and impacts. In this systematic lit…
First, Do No Harm
Post-disaster home buyout programs are intended to reduce hazard vulnerability by facilitating the permanent relocation of people and property away from known hazardous areas. However, the effectiveness of home buyouts in reducing vulnerability has not been empirically evaluated. This study quantifies change-in-exposure to coastal flood hazards and social vulnerability among households that participated in a buyout program in New York State follo…
Home buyouts
Purpose Home buyout programs are typically funded by the federal government and implemented by local agencies. How these agencies design and implement buyouts has considerable impacts on participating households and communities, making understanding the internal processes of implementing agencies a critical component of buyout research. This study addresses this issue by exploring the early design and implementation phases of a buyout program in …
Limbo
Home buyout programmes are designed to permanently relocate households away from areas that are vulnerable to future hazards, though their impacts are not well understood. Among the least understood impacts of these programmes are those related to non-participating households located near buyout zones. Here, we present findings from a study of Oakwood, NY, a peripheral community that was impacted by a buyout programme in a neighbouring community.…

Home buyouts and household recovery
Home buyout programs facilitate the permanent relocation of residents away from areas considered to be at risk from future hazards, though few studies have examined the impacts of home buyout programs on affected households and communities beyond the program implementation period. In this paper, we examine between-neighborhood variation in key recovery indicators for three neighborhoods that followed different paths to recovery after Hurricane Sa…

The Devil Is in the Details
Federal housing recovery policy bounds many of the decisions made by households after a disaster. Within this policy domain, home buyout programs are increasingly used to encourage residents to permanently relocate out of areas considered at risk for future hazards. While buyouts offer homeowners and governments potential benefits, research exploring the impacts of these policies is limited. In this paper, we present an in-depth examination of th…
Culture, local capacity, and outside aid
Research on diverse cultural contexts has indicated that aid organisations often fail to leverage local, culturally‐grounded resources and capacities in disaster‐affected communities. Case‐study methodology was employed to explore the relationship between local and external disaster response efforts in American Sāmoa following the earthquake and tsunami on 29 September 2009 in the southern Pacific Ocean, with a specific focus on the role of cultu…
Rebuild or Relocate? Resilience and Postdisaster Decision‐Making After Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy struck the east coast of the United States on October 29, 2012, devastating communities in its path. In the aftermath, New York implemented a home buyout program designed to facilitate the permanent relocation of residents out of areas considered to be at risk for future hazards. While home buyout programs are becoming popular as policy tools for disaster mitigation, little is known about what factors influence homeowners to parti…
Resilience and Recovery in American Sāmoa
Case study methodology was used to explore the culturally situated response and recovery efforts following a tsunami in American Sāmoa. Data indicated that cultural mechanisms were effective in meeting physical needs but insufficient to manage the emotional trauma caused by such a large‐scale event. Samoan cultural norms strongly discourage uncontrolled emotional expression outside of ritualized grieving events. Disruptions in social networks and…
