“…In the last 5 years, there is evidence of a lack of inclusion among people with disabilities when plans are developed or in receiving guidance (Ronoh et al 2015;Ronoh 2017;Lunga et al 2019). More importantly, evidence of negative attitudes and discrimination for people with disabilities are often culturally engrained (King et al 2019;Lunga et al 2019). Furthermore, some researchers have noted that the definition of a disaster is often unclear (Maini et al 2017;Lunga et al 2019), leading to further marginalization during extreme events.…”

“…Nearly all research on people with disabilities and disaster risk reduction mentions a need for investment in data collection and policy development to decrease vulnerability (Ronoh et al 2015;Ronoh 2017;Twigg et al 2018;King et al 2019;Quaill et al 2019). However, there are only a few that mention actual ongoing investments (Baker et al 2017;.…”

“…A similar sentiment was found by Quaill et al (2019), ''a collaborative and coordinated approach driven by disability-inclusive policy at all levels of government is needed.'' However, the collaboration and coordination must include an understanding of the variability in disability types (Grant 2018), the inclusion of people with disabilities during development (King et al 2019), and the consideration of the cultural attitudes towards disability (Twigg et al 2018). Again, this focuses on social capital; however, there should be some consideration on how economic capital may factor into the ability for people with disabilities to make an impact.…”

“…This article investigates the implementation of disaster risk reduction strategies to purposefully incorporate consideration for people with disabilities globally since the inception of the SFDRR in 2015. The main concerns include individual and household preparedness (Pickering et al 2017;Malpass et al 2019), national and local level policies (Maini et al 2017;Lunga et al 2019;Quaill et al 2019), and cultural attitudes (King et al 2019;Lunga et al 2019) toward individuals with different abilities. As one of the several population groups with the potential to be vulnerable during disasters, it is of the utmost importance that their needs are considered at every stage.…”

Efforts to reduce disaster risk around the world should purposefully consider the needs of potentially vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR) is one of the few global disaster-related frameworks with a focus on people with disabilities. The objective of this article is to assess the inclusion of people with disabilities in disaster risk reduction strategies worldwide since the establishment of SFDRR as gleaned from research. Several studies were reviewed to observe how the four priorities were implemented and operationalized in various countries to reduce the risk for people with disabilities. Findings indicate that initial applications of the SFDRR have compelled purposeful actions, but there is still room for improvement regarding people with disabilities. The results conclude that slight variations on the definitions of disaster or disability may increase marginalization. Three key themes emerged: (1) the intersectionality of disability with other dimensions of vulnerability warrants focused consideration; (2) enhanced disaster preparedness requires more attention in order to empower people with disabilities; and (3) negative cultural attitudes need to shift to enable purposeful inclusion of people with disabilities. Additional studies on the global investments made are encouraged to share lessons learned regarding the integration of people with disabilities.

“…Throughout the life cycle of disaster management, namely, disaster prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, research has contributed in mitigating the loss of human lives, economic damages, and psychological impact in the international community. Although invention or use of cutting-edge technologies or new theories continues, research has changed how the field of disaster management operates (King, Edwards, Watling, & Hair, 2019).…”

Integrating the resources of Korean disaster management research via the Johari window

It is not widely known that quite a few researchers are faced with difficulties in using various resources of disaster management research in Korea. The article aims to assess how rigorously the Korean field of disaster management research resources has been managed or how it can be improved for the ultimate goal of disaster management. Descriptive content analysis has been used as the major methodology by referring to the Johari window. In doing so, electronic research resources have been systematically compared with integrated research resources via the perspective of Korean-speaking researchers and that of English-speaking researchers. The conclusion is that two researchers have to be integrated with all four research resources (open, blind, hidden, and unknown resources) by implementing assigned responsibilities as well as freely asking questions. Ultimately, this will be conducive to reducing down the impacts of disaster in Korea.
