The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological, and biological hazards, as well as broader national-level patterns based on global databases. It examines high-impact events across these disaster types and validates sex-disaggregated fatality patterns by integrating and assessing multiple data sources and demographic proxies. The findings do not support the widely cited claim of consistently higher female mortality. Instead, sex-disaggregated data remain very limited, and the evidence is largely inconclusive, except for biological disasters where male fatalities are consistently higher. Rather than assuming disproportionate effects in advance, sex-specific patterns should be assessed empirically. The study recommends mandatory, systematic reporting of gender-disaggregated fatalities and greater attention to differences in gender-based vulnerabilities across disaster types and contexts.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings illuminate how community-led actions are driven by a broad range of ‘local knowledges’, based in and organised through long-standing networks and organisations. Supporting existing research, we illustrate why the ‘spontaneous’ label, which fuels negative perceptions of chaos and risk, remains inadequate for such organising. Furthermore, and crucially, we clarify the role and scope of ‘local knowledges’ and how they, and the networks in which they are embedded, refine an understanding of ‘social infrastructure’. We argue that community knowledges and networks should be seen as essential for cross-sectoral disaster management and adaptation planning. Alongside the communities engaged, we advocate for their formal recognition and structural integration to reduce future disaster risk.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12979971/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147435837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research argues that the adoption of a crisis lens is the key to understanding how such an effective response was possible. Based on 40 semi-structured interviews with policymakers and experts, as well as a review of literature on internal forced displacement policy, this article highlights how Colombia leveraged institutional legacies from its internal conflict and displacement crises to shape its response. The findings identify five capacities that were transferred across crises: management of international aid; coordination among institutions; population registration; integration of external models; and understanding of the nature of the border. The article contributes to the literature on large-scale displacement by emphasising the importance of institutional memory in shaping responses and suggests the presence of a ‘vulnerability paradox’: how countries with histories of adversity can build resilience and crisis management capacities.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12905474/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146195984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conflict in this region has consistently defied interventions by both governments and development organisations. While numerous studies have emphasised the worsening situation, often in relation to climate change and ensuing forms of resource scarcity, few have illuminated the intricate connections between the commercialisation of livestock theft and other forms of politically motivated, territorial resource-based violence. To address this gap in existing analyses of conflict in the pastoral borderlands, the article draws on four years of fieldwork, employing mixed-method approaches, including participatory community videos, to understand the dynamics of conflict. By situating shifting patterns of violence within the context of northern Kenya's reconfiguration as a frontier of anticipation, the article underscores the complexity and the multidimensional nature of this violence, arguing that solutions must be more attuned to the evolving realities of the borderlands.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146122842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, local conventions (LCs) have emerged as essential instruments of social and environmental regulation in response to resource degradation, climate variability, competition over land, water, and pastures, and persistent insecurity. This study investigates the role of LCs in enhancing natural resource governance and peacebuilding. Using qualitative methods, the research involved 7 focus-group discussions and 11 interviews across three communes in the Mopti Region, Mali. The findings highlight how LCs, developed through a participatory and inclusive process anchored in Mali's decentralisation legal framework, facilitate dialogue among diverse stakeholders and establish negotiated rules for access to and use of natural resources, thereby reducing tensions over resource use and clarifying the rights and responsibilities of different user groups. Yet, challenges remain, such as dependence on external funding and insufficient local capacities. LCs emerge as vital tools for mitigating conflicts in natural resource management and promoting inclusive governance. Their sustainability depends on strengthening local ownership and capacities while integrating more equitable institutional frameworks to ensure their long-term effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146122841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article interrogates how it can also represent locally-led maladaptation—adaptive efforts that inadvertently sustain or exacerbate the very risks they seek to address. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a riparian community, this photo essay examines our initial misinterpretation of a bandal project as successful locally-led adaptation, and our subsequent reinterpretation of it as a configuration of three interrelated forms of responsibility: ‘self-responsibility’, wherein at-risk communities act under constraint; ‘passive responsibility’, manifested through fragmented expert and institutional knowledge; and ‘reactive responsibility’, embedded in public resource distribution patterns reflecting a logic of impact-triggered humanitarian aid that constrains adaptive potential. We argue that, in the absence of active and proactive responsibilities assumed by a range of local actors, self-responsibility is coerced, responsibilising at-risk people and producing maladaptation. Locally-led adaptation, therefore, ought to move beyond a solely community-based framing towards a collectively accountable process.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146126998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
