Sneha Krishnan, Robert Soden, Bhen Aguihon, Rongkun Liu, Pradip Khatiwada
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Rethinking participation in disaster research and practice could be facilitated when practitioners are provided with opportunities to pause and reflect deeply on their work outside of the context of their own individual projects and organizational networks. The article draws from an extended collaboration between researchers from multiple countries and disciplines in a working group, which aimed at exploring ethics, participation and power i...

Examining relational social ontologies of disaster resilience: lived experiences from India, Indonesia, Nepal, Chile and Andean territories
Eija Meriläinen, Jacquleen Joseph, Marjaana Jauhola, Punam Yadav, Eila Romo-Murphy, Juliette Marin, Shyam Gadhavi
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
The neoliberal resilience discourse and its critiques both contribute to its hegemony, obscuring alternative discourses in the context of risk and uncertainties. Drawing from the “ontology of potentiality”, the authors suggest reclaiming “resilience” through situated accounts of the connected and relational every day from the global south. To explore alternate possibilities, the authors draw a...

Epistemological freedom: activating co-learning and co-production to decolonise knowledge production
Maheen Khan, Hanna A. Ruszczyk, Mohammad Feisal Rahman, Saleemul Huq
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
The purpose of the paper is to challenge and address the limitations of the traditional system of knowledge production that is embedded in disaster and climate change research studies, and research studies in general. It argues that knowledge production in research processes conforms to colonialist thinking or west-inspired approaches. Such a system often results in the omission of crucial information due to a lack of participation, inclusion and...

Exploring disaster ontologies from Chinese and Western perspectives: commonalities and nuances
Susie Goodall, Yajun Li, Ksenia Chmutina, Tom Dijkstra, Xingmin Meng, Colm Jordan
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
This paper explores ontological assumptions of disasters and introduces some concepts from Chinese disaster scholarship. The authors suggest an approach to explore and engage with different ontologies of disaster without direct comparison, that can further interdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration.
By reviewing the academic literature and focussing on two recent key translational texts by Chinese scholars, the authors s...

Reconstruction of heritage in Bhaktapur, Nepal: examining tensions and negotiations between the “local” and the “global”
Vanicka Arora
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Cultural heritage, specifically built heritage – including monuments, urban ensembles, religious and palatial complexes – has emerged as a central focus of tensions and negotiations within the post-disaster recovery landscape in Nepal following the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake. This not only reflects a growing recognition of heritage within international disaster risk management frameworks, but also responds to the critical role played by heritage at national, regional and local levels. The paper aims ...

The plethora of contributions to social learning has resulted in a wide range of interpretations, meanings and applications of social learning, both within and across disciplines. However, advancing the concept and using social learning methods and tools in areas like disaster-shocks requires interdisciplinary ...

Valentina Carraro, Sarah Kelly, José Luis Vargas, Patricio Melillanca, José Miguel Valdés-Negroni
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
The authors use media research and crowdsourced mapping to document how the first wave of the pandemic (April–August 2020) affected the Mapuche, focussing on seven categories of events: territorial control, spiritual defence, food sovereignty, traditional health practices, political violence, territorial needs and solidarity, and extractivist expansion.
Research on the effects of the pandemic on the Mapuche ...

Ethical considerations of disaster research in conflict-affected areas
Rodrigo Mena, Dorothea Hilhorst
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Debates on the ethics of disaster and humanitarian studies concern unequal relations in research (among research institutes/researchers/stakeholders); the physical and psychological well-being of research participants and researchers; and the imposition of western methods, frameworks and epistemologies to the study of disasters. This paper focuses on everyday ethics: how they need to be translated throughout the everyday practices of research and how researchers can deal with the et...

Interoperability and standardization: lessons from the fruit-bowl
This study hypothesizes the limitations of standardization as an interoperability development tool within emergency management.
Pragmatism and Morgan's seminal organizational metaphors inform the conceptualization of the Interoperability Orange metaphor using symbolic logic and visual imagery.
The essence of standardization is homogeneity. Within emergency management, it is commonplace to develop legislation to standardize policies, procedures, training, equipment and terminology to engender interoperability among first responder and associated organizations. Standardization is achievable with similar or a small ...

Disability inclusiveness of early warning system: a study on flood-prone areas of Bangladesh
Musabber Ali Chisty, Ashrafuzzaman Nazim, Md. Mostafizur Rahman, Syeda Erena Alam Dola, Nesar Ahmed Khan
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
Persons with disabilities face the impacts of disasters differently. Early warning systems can be one of the powerful tools to reduce the vulnerabilities of persons with disabilities and mitigate the impacts of disasters. The main objective of this study was to assess the disability inclusiveness of the current early warning system (EWS) in flood-prone areas of Bangladesh.
A qualitative method was focused ...

Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
This paper aims to explore the involvement of various actors in the preparation of Palu City's spatial plan before the multi-hazard events of 2018. In addition, it evaluates the extent to which disaster risk reduction (DRR) is mainstreamed in the spatial plan.
The study uses qualitative methods of analysis with a risk-based planning approach and stakeholder analysis.
It is critical tha...

Disaster racism: using Black sociology, critical race theory and history to understand racial disparity to disaster in the United States
Kyle Breen
Disaster Prevention and Management, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.-
The purpose of this paper is to provide a call to action to use a new theoretical framework for disaster researchers that focuses on using a critical approach to understanding differential disaster impacts due to systemic racism.
Using critical race theory (CRT) and Black Sociology, theoretical and disciplinary frameworks that center Black people and NBPOC as well as a focus in dismantling systemic racism and other oppressive systems, this article calls for a new approach – “disaster racism” ...
