Hazard planning lessons from six inland jurisdictions in the southern plains","authors":"Ward Lyles, Penn Pennel, Rachel Riley","doi":"10.1177/02807270231211838","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/02807270231211838","url":null,"abstract":"The recent 20th anniversary of the adoption of the United States’ Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA) offers an occasion to reflect on the performance of the intergovernmental policy framework it created to incentivize local hazard mitigation planning. Researchers know little about the status of local hazard mitigation planning in oft-overlooked inland communities and they know little about high-quality mitigation planning in the middle of the country. This study helps fill these gaps with a multistate, six-county comparative case study approach in the Southern Plains using data collected from the evaluation of plan documents and interviews with key informants. Our three core findings are: (1) the hazard mitigation plans tend to be of low to mediocre quality; (2) the networks of hazard mitigation stakeholders vary widely in composition and leadership, some replicating emergency management networks suited to preparedness and response and some much better suited to the quite different demands of long-term mitigation work; and (3) the types of consultants and their roles also varied across the six cases, bringing expertise characteristic of narrow emergency management perspectives to more integrated expertise in long-range land use and infrastructure planning perspectives. Without the requirements of the DMA, it is difficult to imagine that thousands of communities would have dedicated millions of dollars and untold hours to develop mitigation plans. Yet, as our findings show, the DMA is likely in need of a major overhaul, in spite of recent efforts like the new Federal Emergency Management Agency Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program.","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":"134 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They may make trade-offs among these choices where one decision affects the others. The analysis models the linkages among these three aforementioned choices using data from a household behavioral intention survey conducted in 2017 in the Hampton Roads, VA area. Statistical tests and a theoretical basis show that the approach that best fits the dataset was to estimate the three choices in a sequence, where the first decision serves as an independent variable in the next choice process. To model the sequence, we began by modeling accommodation choice using a multinomial logit (MNL) model. Next, the accommodation choice decisions were used with other control variables to estimate destination choice in a second MNL model. Last, evacuation distance (related to destination decisions) was used in a Cox proportional-hazards model to estimate departure time choices. The models that provide the best estimates included the following control variables that help explain the sequence of decisions residents in the Hampton Roads area expect to make: (1) a variable expressing residential stability helps explain accommodation choice; (2) prior evacuation experience, the geographic location of a household, and the duration of living in the area help predict the destination choice; and (3) distance to the chosen destination helps predict departure time. Findings from this study provide evidence that the decisions associated with these three choices influence each other and help emergency managers identify additional actions that potentially can improve the evacuation experiences of local residents.","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":" 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135286258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Florida is historically susceptible to hurricanes, having experienced six major hurricanes (> 110 mph winds) from 2000 to 2021, including Hurricane Michael, a rare Category 5 (> 157 mph winds) in October 2018 that devastated the already economically vulnerable Florida Panhandle. The area experienced a stagnant recovery, and it wasn’t until 2021 that a state-funded economic revitalization program was implemented to aid business restoration. An analysis of unemployment and employment rate trends for all Florida counties that experienced a major hurricane between 2000 and 2021 was conducted to quantify Hurricane Michael's economic impact compared to the other major hurricanes. Using difference-in-differences analysis, results found that the coastal counties impacted by Hurricane Michael experienced up to 11 months of significantly increased unemployment compared to other major Florida storms, from which counties only experienced up to two months of increased unemployment. Additionally, to provide context to the results of Hurricane Michael, observations of the volume trend of employee counts by industry were used to show that during the post-storm year the area saw a reduction in the hospitality, retail, health care and social assistance, and educational services workforces, yet an increase in the construction sector. This study highlights the need for increased disaster resilience against economic disruptions, the anticipation of post-disaster workforce disruptions, as well as support services for workers in a longstanding disaster recovery area. Furthermore, while post-disaster revitalization programs can be beneficial, building economic resilience to support rapid adaptation and recovery is more sustainable.","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":"122 1","pages":"85 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76166290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These increasing disaster impacts, which are compounded by climate change, are leading to more complex recovery challenges and consequently the need for advancing planning, funding, and research to address and overcome them. Over the past decade, the breadth of research and policy analyses on recovery has grown, marking progress in long-term and multidimensional studies that aim for understanding some of the complexities and inequalities of recovery. Just over a decade ago, IJMED published a special issue on disaster recovery that served as an account of the progress in long-term recovery research in 2012 (Reiss 2012). The 2012 special issue highlighted a need for comparative and longitudinal data collection for long-term disaster recovery research to observe how recovery differs in various environments and how recovery unfolds over multiple years. While systematic comparative studies are still rare, the field has progressed with systematic long-term as well as longitudinal recovery studies across the world, for example after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the BP Oil Spill in 2010, the 2011 Triple Disaster (Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Crises) in Japan, and many other events. Recovery studies in these locations around the world have contributed to our understanding of pace and progress, long-term patterns and disparities, success factors in recovery, best practices for the ethical conduct of research, data collection, and analytical methods, and measurement of recovery, among other topics. Innovations in the methods and data used for recovery research and a larger history of longitudinal studies offer additional insights that future recovery studies can build upon. To evaluate current progress in disaster recovery research, the theme of the 2021 Researchers Meeting after the Natural Hazards Workshop focused on Advances in Longitudinal Recovery Research.Held virtually in July 2021, this Researcher’s Meeting brought together 479 participants representing multiple disciplines and countries. Plenary sessions featured prominent examples of longitudinal cohort studies across cultural contexts and throughout the world, including studies from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (e.g. Merdjanoff et al. 2022; Nguyen, Kim, and Abramson 2023; Raker et al. 2020, 2023; VanLandingham and VanLandingham 2017) (see Goff and Merdjanoff in this Special Issue), the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquakes (e.g. Fujimoto et al. 2022) (see Tatsuki in this in this Special Issue), the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami (e.g. Frankenberg et al. 2017, 2023; Gray et al. 2014), the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake (Wu 2021), the 2015 Nepal Earthquake (Loos et al. 2023; The Asia Foundation 2021), and the 2020 Hurricanes and Earthquake ","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":"34 1","pages":"4 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84113577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One strategy for measuring recovery over time involves a longitudinal observational cohort. This analysis examines the cost and effort involved in developing and maintaining a longitudinal cohort. The Gulf Coast Child and Family Health Study recruited 1,079 randomly sampled individuals in Louisiana and Mississippi within months after Hurricane Katrina and followed them for 13 years. Participants in the study were interviewed in person five times over the study period. Despite the challenges involved in maintaining a transient and economically vulnerable study cohort, 80.4 percent of all eligible participants were surveyed at the fifth time point, over a decade after the event. At each round of data collection, the refusal rate ranged from less than 1 percent to 3.3 percent. Reasons for non-participation included institutional inaccessibility for those who were incarcerated, in treatment programs, or in nursing homes. Physical and mental health issues which precluded participation included cognitive decline and significant loss of function. Other participants were lost to follow-up or death. At the final round of face-to-face interviewing in 2018, the average field cost per survey was $353.27, not including a respondent incentive of $50, and required an average of 15.74 hours per case to complete. This report describes the strategies employed to maintain such a long-term disaster cohort.","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":"22 1","pages":"26 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88593229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, this article employs a cross-national comparative approach in examining the interplay of these three factors in LTLR, within rural communities, following the two international post-disaster case studies, the 2007 Cyclone Sidr, Barguna, Bangladesh and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan, China. This cross-national comparison indicates that the affected communities in both cases experienced extreme challenges in LTLR while illustrating the differences. Learning capacity and diversification facilitated asset loss recovery and risk mitigation in the Sidr case, while the Wenchuan case demonstrated a limited learning opportunity for livelihood diversification. Enabling and constraining factors were identified in both case studies. Particularly, people-place connections positively shaped the LTLR in the Wenchuan case while producing negative results in the Sidr case. External assistance facilitated livelihood provisioning, protection, and promotion for the Sidr case; in contrast, giving little, if any, credence to the local traditional livelihood practice, the top-down external interventions in the Wenchuan case jeopardized the rural communities LTLR. This article defends that promoting grassroots participation in community reconstruction and recovery and strengthening grassroots livelihood learning and practice capacities would advance LTLR.","PeriodicalId":84928,"journal":{"name":"International journal of mass emergencies and disasters","volume":"57 1","pages":"66 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85467479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we argue that making ethical decisions about research processes requires an emphasis on recognition, the acknowledgment, and respect of difference, a key pillar of environmental justice. We share an experience implementing a long-term disaster research protocol (Project Building Resilience through Innovation and Diverse Group Engagement) that includes the deliberate involvement of community members in the research process as Community Specialists and discuss how their engagement contributed to recognition and more ethical research practices.

Although the disaster contexts of multiple hurricanes and the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic vary considerably, comparing the experiences of small business operators furthers our understanding of local disruptions and the potential for adaptive capacity. Drawing on 2 years of survey data, we focus on the importance of mobility to public-facing (e.g. service and recreation) small business recovery and adaptation. We then consider the relationship between multiple forms of mobility and resilience to two different disaster types. We conclude by identifying additional areas of small business adaptation and resilience inquiry informed by both hurricane and pandemic experiences.
