The sector is thus striving to promote a more inclusive approach to aid delivery through localisation. Existing literature largely focuses on power imbalances between international and local actors. However, power imbalances among local actors can also undermine localisation efforts, meaning that affected communities do not always support or benefit from a shift in power to national and local actors. In this paper, we present a most-different case comparison of the refugee response in Turkey and the Hurricane Maria response in Dominica, drawing on 110 interviews. We argue that dynamics of paternalism and politicisation among local actors in the same country can undermine localisation's goal of providing inclusive and needs-based assistance. When funders do not account for such dynamics, we posit, localisation can reinforce, rather than alleviate, inequality and marginalisation.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148760954","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 paper advances our empirical understanding of volunteer contributions to long-term disaster recovery. The use of semi-structured interviews with volunteers who provide disaster recovery support, stakeholders who collaborate with volunteers, and individuals who received recovery support services from volunteers allowed us to identify effective approaches that resonated with and meaningfully aided disaster-affected people. To support individuals and families through the challenging and overwhelming recovery process, volunteers extended relational, compassionate, and agile support. By adopting a long-term perspective focused on housing recovery, rather than engaging in a crisis response role, volunteers were able to set and manage realistic expectations concerning service delivery. Volunteers utilised both their local connections and organisational links to collaborate and communicate, confirming the need to look at the broader context within which they operate.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13442999/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148680476","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}

Drawing on a systematic literature review, programme analysis, and field-based observation, it proposes three operational approaches to the HDP nexus, integrated, nexus-sensitive, and coordinated, which often appear in hybrid forms. Building on Paul Howe's (2019) ‘bundles and arrays’ framework, the typology moves the focus from individual project design to broader organisational strategies, institutional mandates, contextual realities, and trade-offs shaping nexus practice. The analysis situates this within a decade of nexus discourse and implementation, addressing current pressures such as shrinking aid budgets and the integration of climate and displacement agendas, while examining their implications for operational practice. Rather than pursuing a universal model, the paper argues that effective practice resists standardisation, emerging instead from negotiation across shifting mandates, evolving priorities, and diverse contexts, offering a typology to guide context-specific operational choices.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13392574/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148563253","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}

Yet, they are often deprioritised as international actors' partners of choice in the well-established humanitarian system of the Philippines. This paper illustrates how they navigate vertical social ties with international humanitarian organisations to enhance their resilience in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. It examines whether strengthening the linking social capital of local women's organisations with international humanitarian non-governmental organisations can: improve women's ability to access resources in disasters; challenge the power dynamic in such a way that women are able to engage meaningfully in decision making and attain an equal footing in the partnership; and increase the capacity of women to build community resilience as an outcome of improved access and meaningful engagement. The study engaged 10 leaders of the National Rural Women's Coalition (PKKK) in semi-structured interviews and applied a social constructionist, feminist standpoint framework to the analysis. It found that rural women navigate asymmetrical power dynamics in creative ways and value partnership behaviours that demonstrate equitability and true accompaniment.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 3","pages":"e70057"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a comparative analysis of the May 2023 floods in two Emilia-Romagna provinces in Italy, it explores how local leadership influences the outcomes of crisis management within a shared institutional and hazard context. Using local press reports, municipal ordinances, and interviews with key figures, the study reconstructs the decision-making processes involved and identifies critical leadership practices. The findings demonstrate that differences in preparedness, coordination, and post-event trajectories are significantly impacted by the experience and professional background of leaders, as well as their capacity to make decisions in circumstances characterised by uncertainty and time pressure. By isolating leadership practices under constant structural conditions, the study makes a valuable contribution to disaster research by specifying how local agency shapes responses and learning in multi-level disaster governance. It highlights, in particular, the importance of investing in local leadership development to strengthen municipal disaster management capacities.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 3","pages":"e70059"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13179474/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147949918","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}

Despite the gendered dimensions of disasters being well evidenced, SRHR and other gendered needs remain overlooked in AA programming, exacerbating the risks to women, girls, and intersectionally marginalised groups with high pre-existing vulnerability. This paper investigates the challenges to and opportunities for including SRHR in AA, using SRHR as a lens to investigate the possibilities for more inclusive and effective AA programmes. AA enables a more transformative approach to humanitarian aid, with time for early planning, gender analyses, local community engagement, and improved nexus linkages to the longer-term development of healthcare services, corresponding to current debates in the humanitarian sector. Utilising these attributes of AA facilitates a humanitarian response which can better meet vulnerable groups' needs in fragile contexts, helping to mitigate the long-term repercussions of the 'double disaster' of gendered impacts.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 3","pages":"e70056"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13139778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147844729","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}
