“…The first main research area has been focused on disaster risk reduction; for example, Iwata, Ito, and Managi (2014) examined disaster damage in Japan, Mashi, Abubakar, Dominic, and Amina (2018) reviewed Nigeriaʼs disaster response abilities, and Lam and Kuipers (2019) studied damage reduction and recovery after the 2015 Nepalese earthquake. The second research area has been focused on the economic and social impacts of natural disasters; for example, Hosoya (2016) studied the economic impacts of the Japanese Great Eastern Earthquake and Tsunami, Marto, Papageorgiou, and Klyuev (2018) explored the impact of natural disasters on economies, and Songwathana (2018) explored the relationships between natural disasters and economic development. The third main area of research has been natural disaster risk assessments; for example, Brown, Daigneault, Tjernström, and Zou (2018) researched Fijian household risk attitudes toward the likelihood and severity of natural disasters over the next 20 years and found that extreme events could change individual risk perceptions.…”
