This study examines videos about bushfire preparedness published on YouTube by Australian state and territory fire services over the period 2015–2022. Through visual analysis, we investigate the explicit and implicit messages of videos by fire agencies about public bushfire risk in Australia. Quantitative content analysis of actors, settings, actions, and messages present in videos reveals a lack of representation of diversity in Australian society, and an overwhelming focus on risks faced by nuclear, home-owning families of European ancestry in low-density residential landscapes. Analysis is informed by the concept of social imaginaries – socially-embedded structures of perception that integrate expectations, aspirations, and images in shaping communication in cultural settings. Videos reproduce an imaginary in which women are positioned as guardians of families, and responsible for children's safety, while men are identified with the role of the firefighter. Fire itself is imagined as an external enemy within settler-colonial histories, and the nuclear family home is embedded in an imaginary of private economic responsibility and stability. These colonial, national, and neoliberal imaginaries about fire shape contemporary bushfire communication, despite the profound material changes to Australian populations and cultures over recent decades. We conclude that identifying, understanding and questioning culturally embedded imaginaries in fire agency communication can improve public communication about bushfire preparedness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 105644"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144306556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a refined method for assessing the consequences of sea level rise on coastal communities by quantifying future impacts to buildings and infrastructure at a local level. While community resilience models typically address acute hazards, this work considers sea level rise and tides as a chronic hazard and its temporal impacts. Local sea level rise scenarios and tide predictions are combined to develop a time series of future water levels. The future water levels are mapped to the local topography to obtain the spatial extent of flooding. The proposed method is demonstrated using Galveston, Texas, USA as a testbed community considering buildings, electric substations, and a road/bridge transportation network. Impacts from sea level rise such as days exposed, days without electricity, and days with increases in travel time, are evaluated at the individual building level, rather than aggregate spatial scales. This method demonstrates the value of concurrently considering multiple infrastructure systems for community resilience planning of chronic hazards. Comparisons between building and census block levels show that for the testbed community evaluating future impacts of sea level rise at the census block level can lead to overestimating the number of buildings exposed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 105649"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144312577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the nexus of environmental change and human mobility has been researched, how contexts shape migration drivers and patterns remain unclear. This article addresses this gap by examining migration dynamics in the Khulna City Corporation and Koyra Upazila, to discern the influence of urban and rural vulnerabilities. We surveyed 300 households and conducted four focus group discussions and six key informant interviews to unpack the interplay of environmental, economic, and social drivers of migration. The findings indicate that in Koyra migration is predominantly driven by hazards such as cyclones and salinity intrusion, which severely disrupt rural livelihoods. In Khulna, migration is in turn shaped by economic opportunities and better living conditions. In both locations, economic vulnerability amplifies the impact of climatic hazards particularly among low-income groups. While survival-driven migration persists in Koyra, migration in Khulna is increasingly a result of strategic decisions and planned adaptation aimed at long term socio-economic resilience, for example by investing in skills development. The results highlight how immediate environmental pressures intersect with aspirations for economic stability and make migration a complex phenomenon. These insights can guide policy measures to enhance community resilience, reduce vulnerabilities, and address the multidimensional migration challenges across diverse settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 105646"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144307964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They also result in severe health, social, and economic consequences. The unprecedented floods that occurred from April to May 2024 in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, affected over 90 % of the state and resulted in 183 deaths. These floods were triggered by heavy rainfall exceeding 500 mm within five days, causing the water levels in Guaíba Lake to reach 5.35 m on May 6, the highest level since the flood in 1941. This inundation severely affected vulnerable areas of the capital city, Porto Alegre. Prior to the major flooding event in Porto Alegre, rainfall forecasts and high-risk flood warnings were issued a few days in advance. In Brazil, the Early Warning System (EWS) operates through an intersectoral, multi-agency framework. Over the past fifteen years, the integration of climate information into disaster prevention, risk reduction, monitoring, and early warning has improved significantly. However, despite the National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (CEMADEN) being the primary institution responsible for monitoring and issuing nationwide early warnings for floods, flash floods, and landslides, there is still a need for better integration of information. This improvement could enhance response actions and contribute to resilience building. This study provides a brief review of the climatological conditions that led to the floods in Rio Grande do Sul in April–May 2024. It also examines the role of EWS and Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS) centers in Brazil during the disaster, as well as an evaluation of CEMADEN's prevention and early warning activities before and during the event. The aim is to understand the unique nature and impacts of this disaster to better prepare for similar events in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 105645"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144271531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
