A Prudence-Based Framework for Ethical Disaster Risk Management
Current disaster risk management (DRM) frameworks promote risk-informed decision making, resilience building, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, illustrating their continued relevance and dominance in addressing disaster risks. However, they often lack comprehensive ethical guidance for decision making under uncertainty, leading to systemic failures in foresight and inequitable outcomes. To bridge this gap, this article introduces a prudence-ba…
Dreams and data
Purpose To examine how indigenous knowledge intersects with formal early warning systems in cyclone-prone Mozambique, and how these interactions shape risk perception, trust and community preparedness within the EW4All agenda. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study was conducted in 24 coastal communities. Purposively selected key informants were interviewed, transcripts were translated and thematically analysed, drawing on PADM and …
The king will tell us
Purpose This paper investigates the role of traditional authority in shaping community responses to cyclone early warnings in rural Madagascar. It examines how messenger legitimacy and cultural trust influence preparedness behaviours, arguing that disaster governance must engage formal and informal institutions to improve early warning uptake. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study was conducted in two cyclone-prone districts, Marov…
Institutionalisation of anticipatory action within government disaster risk management structures
Purpose This study sought to elucidate the process, mechanism and outcomes of anticipatory action (AA) initiatives at relevant governance levels in Zimbabwe with a view to drawing lessons that will inform future strategies and approaches, policy, research and practice in disaster early warning and early action. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study explored the institutionalisation of AA in Zimbabwe through a literature review, conte…
Organisational vulnerability
Purpose This study aimed to address the underexplored domain of organisational vulnerability, with a specific focus on understanding how vulnerability is understood in organisations and the underlying pathways leading to vulnerability. Design/methodology/approach This study utilised a narrative literature review methodology, using Google Scholar as the primary source, to analyse the concepts of organisational vulnerability in the context of disas…
A policy coherence framework for food security, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in South Africa
Food security (FS), climate change adaptation (CCA), and disaster risk reduction (DRR) have all evolved in isolation at the global, national, and subnational levels, employing various response strategies, plans, and conceptual and institutional frameworks. As a result, attempts to ensure food security through DRR and CCA efforts are unevenly dispersed. The purpose of this research is to propose a novel framework for bringing FS, CCA, and DRR poli…
An exploration of objectivism and social constructivism within the context of disaster risk
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the meaning of social constructivism and objectivism within the context of disaster risk from which disaster risk policy can be analysed. In particular, the paper attempts to explore the implications of social constructivism and objectivism in disaster risk which is essential in explaining why disaster risk has different nuances and consequently policy responses. Design/methodology/approach – A…
