Using a novel stratified adaptive cluster sampling approach, we collected representative panel data from firms in Beira (heavily affected) and Chimoio (less affected). Many firms demonstrated rapid initial recovery without financial intervention, but did not sustain this over time. Although the overall effect of the grants on the full sample is not statistically significant, important heterogeneity in treatment effects did emerge. In Beira, the grants positively influenced firm recovery, whereas no significant effects were observed in Chimoio. Within Beira, the grants were particularly beneficial for firms that suffered greater damage, employed more workers, operated in the carpentry subsector, and invested the funds in machinery or tools. We explore potential explanations of the overall null result, including rapid self-recovery and the unique challenges faced by manufacturing firms, while highlighting the importance of targeting specific subgroups in future disaster recovery efforts.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12689","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558075","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}

Disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction (DIDRR) focuses on decreasing the vulnerability of PWDs and enhancing their capacities in disaster, yet little is known about how disability is mainstreamed in disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies and practices. Applying Amartya Sen's capability approach, this study investigates if and how PWDs are included in DRR policymaking, implementation, and response activities in Assam, India. Based on policy document analysis and semi-structured interviews, it finds a divide in addressing disability inclusion at different policymaking levels. Furthermore, there is a gap between the existing DRR framework and how (inclusive) DRR is implemented on the ground. Flood management in Assam is not based on institutionalised (DI)DRR measures, but a bottom-up approach based on traditional knowledge. In Assam, PWDs lack resources and conversion factors, absences which are reinforced by missing or inadequate provisions on the part of governmental or non-governmental actors and a fractured DRR policymaking framework.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12693","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558074","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}

By matching this with Earthquake Commission insurance claims, we could analyse the micro-level effects of the 2010–11 Canterbury (New Zealand) earthquakes. Our findings reveal that life satisfaction consistently declined in affected areas, emphasising its sensitivity to catastrophic shocks. Narrowly-defined areas exhibited negative impacts across all well-being indicators. Vulnerable groups, including Māori, faced significant declines in life satisfaction, while younger people, migrants, and employed individuals demonstrated resilience. Economic well-being decreased notably for females and younger persons in Christchurch, whereas Māori and employed individuals showed increases. Perceptions of safety weakened, particularly among females and the employed, but strengthened among sole individuals with dependent children and migrants. These results highlight the hidden adverse impacts of earthquakes and underscore the necessity for targeted interventions and support mechanisms tailored to vulnerable populations to mitigate disasters' effects on well-being effectively.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12692","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144482367","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}

Utilising a mixed-methods approach, this paper explores the communication practices that support these efforts. The qualitative findings reveal that emergency management agencies, different government organisations, community-based groups, and local people play a key role in the process. Communicative actions supporting people's participation include scoping and relationship-building activities, awareness-raising events, advertisements and promotions, and community conversations. Based on these findings and guided by communication infrastructure theory, a conceptual map of the communication networks, resources, and processes adopted to promote people's participation and collective action is presented here. The survey results indicate that emergency management agencies are the main communicators promoting people's participation. Interpersonal influence and community conversations are most effective in terms of involving new people. Both the theoretical and practical implications of the study's findings are discussed in this paper.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12690","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144309109","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}

Based on 42 expert interviews assessing management barriers and information needs during the 2020–24 drought in the Horn of Africa, resulting in an estimated 71,100 excess deaths in Somalia alone, we find water security data to be critical in shifting management to proactive mechanisms. Monitoring of water availability (such as water quality and groundwater/surface water levels) and water access (such as water prices and household surveys) is needed to design solutions that proactively mitigate water shortages and their secondary impacts on food security (such as through borehole rehabilitation, alternative water supplies, and cash transfers). Furthermore, if causal relations between water and food insecurity are analysed, the cost–benefit basis for financing water supply interventions can be more completely propositioned, and food insecurity hotspots can be better anticipated.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12687","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143944424","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}

It utilised the dataset of a rapid evidence review of 33 studies, key informant interviews with 26 local stakeholders, and 52 interviews with people with various disabilities in Hanoi and Nghe An province, Vietnam. Using thematic analysis, we identified eight themes pertaining to socially-constructed difficulties facing people with disabilities: barriers to accessing disaster risk information and warnings; difficulties in understanding emergencies; challenges in communicating needs; evacuation and mobility hurdles; decreased sense of belonging and isolation; increased risk of getting sick; increased risk of developing mental health and behavioural disorders; and disrupted livelihood and loss of income.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12686","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939518","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}

They were set to regain mana in emergency management (EM) through a parliamentary Bill, but a recent change of government has seen this legislation discharged. This paper explores the barriers to and the opportunities for gains in authority and influence in EM, with authority understood as representation on the national and regional EM bodies, and influence as incorporation of the Māori worldview into legislation and supporting EM implementation documentation. The study applies these different levels of analysis to two case studies to examine any EM-related changes between the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011 and the arrival of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023. The paper offers several strategies at both analytical levels that Māori could use to further their mana under the current government.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"49 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.12684","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143726877","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}
