Towards a workable definition of good practice in disaster risk management
Norwegian police officers withholding fire in armed confrontations
Balancing stakeholder engagement in climate action
Climate change presents an urgent and complex challenge, demanding immediate and effective action. This conceptual paper uses a narrative approach and a snowballing strategy to examine the intricate balance between stakeholders’ willingness to engage in climate action and their comfort with the resulting changes. We propose a novel typology that draws parallels with three types of ecological symbiotic interactions: parasitism, commensalism, and m…
Police basic firearms training
The purpose of this study is to compare the basic firearms training delivered by the police (university) colleges in New Zealand and Norway, and how this training reflects experience from real-life armed confrontations. Data stem from document studies and participant observation on all basic firearms courses. Findings show similarities regarding the safety, firearms handling and marksman skills that recruits/students need to have to pass their qu…
Vulnerability and vulnerable groups from an intersectionality perspective
In general, the identification and protection of vulnerable groups in the case of hazards or when a crisis unfolds is an issue that any crisis and disaster risk management should address, since people have different levels of exposure to hazards and crises. In this article, we promote the application of the intersectionality perspective in the study of vulnerable groups, and we call for intersectionality as a guiding principle in risk and crisis …
Norwegian Police Use of Firearms
This is the first study of police decision-making regarding the use of firearms in the Norwegian context; its purpose is to study how police emergency response officers make decisions on the use of firearms, and to understand the contextual factors underlying these decisions. The data stem from document analysis based on developed categories, and interviews with police officers with experience in using firearms during their service, analysed by t…
The Force Continuum
This study is among the first to investigate police use of coercive force in Norway; its purpose is to provide a general overview of the prevalence and particularly the characteristics of Norwegian police emergency response officers’ use of force. Self-reported data from police emergency response officers show a prevalence of use of force equivalent to approximately once per month in a variety of situations. In the vast majority of these situatio…
Preparedness for slow‐onset environmental disasters
El Niño warm events provide a fruitful case for the study of disaster‐induced learning due to their reoccurring nature and the high level of uncertainty surrounding their impacts. The purpose of this study is to elucidate impediments and opportunities for learning from El Niño disaster planning. To achieve this, we analyse and compare two lessons learned reports from the 1997–98 and 2015–16 El Niño events. These reports also refer to the 1982–83 …
El Niño-induced droughts in the Colombian Andes
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the contingency approach to disaster preparedness inhibits proactive management of slow-onset disasters, such as El Niño, with the purpose of advancing disaster risk theory. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on fieldwork data from Nariño, Colombia, combined with secondary data and a review of the literature on El Niño and disaster preparedness. Findings Disaster managers in Nariño…
Crisis governance of the refugee and migrant influx into Europe in 2015
This paper examines the crisis governance of the refugee and migrant influx into Europe in 2015 through the lenses of Kooiman’s modes of governance. The key theoretical perspectives rest upon the crisis and crisis governance literature and are applied to the initiatives taken by the European Commission and the Council in response to the so-called 2015 migrant and refugee crisis. This article questions the mode(s) of crisis governance applied by t…
Knowledge creation and reliable decision-making in complex emergencies
This paper examines how the creation of knowledge and the location of decision-making authority within relief organisations influence coordination. Information was collected from the headquarters of international non-governmental organisations in 2003, as well as from Darfur and Khartoum, Sudan, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Relief organisations rely on quality information dissemination between the field and headquarters. Yet, reporting from th…
