“…Other distinctions in research foci revolve around the types of risks and hazards considered. Critical disaster studies have historically been more preoccupied with meteorological and geophysical hazards (Burton, 1978; Collins et al, 2017), while the geographical study of emergency governance has tended to focus on political/state emergencies (Anderson, 2020), national defence and terrorism (De Goede, 2012), health emergencies (Adey and Anderson, 2012) and technological/infrastructural emergencies (Lakoff and Collier, 2010).…”

This article builds on previous work that has sought to link assemblage theory with the study of disaster risk. Specifically, we propose that the existing idea of a ‘disaster risk management assemblage’ can be used in two ways. The first is an overall approach to analysing disaster risk. The second is to conceptualise disaster risk management assemblages as objects of study. These are the assemblages, or apparatuses, that seek to manage – but also create – disasters-in-the-making. We go on to explore how these ideas can be used in empirical research and how they can help us to imagine doing research differently.

“…Different initiatives have been organized by the STC in order to reflect on and promote disaster risk reduction (DRR) partnerships at international (Aitsi-Selmi et al 2016;Alcántara-Ayala et al 2017;Collins et al 2017;Trogrlić et al 2017) and national levels. With the participation of national experts from diverse backgrounds and various institutions, several meetings to discuss issues associated with the structure and performance of SINA-PROC were held in Mexico, at National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in 2018 and 2019.…”

Notwithstanding the high societal impact of disasters in Mexico, there is a lack of integrated efforts to establish a sound policy for reducing disaster risk to counterbalance the existing concentrated endeavors in disaster management. In the face of such segmentation, the science and technology community has advocated for a change of perspective, from civil protection to integrated disaster risk management. The first Multi-Sectoral Conference towards Integrated Disaster Risk Management in Mexico: Building a National Public Policy (MuSe-IDRiM Conference) was held in Mexico City at National Autonomous University of Mexico, 21–24 October 2019. In support of the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, the conference aimed at enhancing the dialogue between the science and technology community, citizens, civil society organizations, private and public sectors, and the federal, state, and municipal governments to foster the process of transforming the current National Civil Protection System into a national public policy oriented towards integrated disaster risk management (DRM). Barriers and challenges to the implementation of integrated DRM were identified. Implementation of integrated DRM challenges current socioeconomic structures and encourages all relevant stakeholders to think, decide, and act from a different perspective and within and across spatial, temporal, jurisdictional, and institutional scales. Understanding disaster risk from an integrated approach, learning skills that authorities have not learned or used, and hence, strengthening disaster risk governance are prerequisites to effectively manage disaster risk.

“…The SFDRR's predecessor, the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015, largely underpinned the creation of India's National Disaster Management Act (2005) [ 9 , 10 ]. India's approach, then, was in line with international frameworks that emphasise the preeminent role of science in decision-making for Disaster (Risk) Management and the need to prioritise and mainstream disaster management policy and practice across all areas of government [ 11 ]. We argue that despite the apparently science-led approach taken, India's disaster management-based approach did little to refute the well-established idea that disaster management is a political process and not immune or disconnected from ideologies, cultures, scientific uncertainties, and geopolitics [ 12 , 13 ].…”
