“…Given the loss of life, livelihood and home, natural disasters particularly affect the private and domestic sectors. Although there is a growing literature on accounting in the domestic sphere (e.g., Rossi, 2022), natural disaster research has largely focused on businesses (Imaizumi et al, 2016; Shimizu and Fujimura, 2010), the macro-economy (Odell and Weidenmier, 2004; Pereira, 2009), or the government (Miley and Read, 2013), rather than on the effects and recovery of households following a natural disaster. Households are particularly vulnerable to natural disaster loss since, being unpredictable, natural disasters are not easily amenable to a risk calculus.…”
