We analyse internal migration triggered by natural disasters in Bangladesh. We conducted a survey in nine coastal districts and two major cities in Bangladesh to investigate whether floods and cyclones, which can be considered as transient shocks, affect interregional migration differently...

Critical infrastructure and public utility systems are often severely damaged by natural disasters like hurricanes. Based on a framework of household disaster resilience, this paper focuses on the role of utility disruption on household-level recovery in the context of Hurricane Sandy. Using...

In this paper, using a discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey, we assess public preferences for improvement in the resilience of electricity infrastructures to hurricane risks in Florida. Here the resilience is defined as the reduced time in restoring the interrupted electricity services. The...

The added threat from a pandemic creates a complex dilemma for households that are also facing evacuation decisions during natural disasters. This paper characterizes households’ evacuation decisions during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and investigates how their experiences and perceptions...

Evacuation is one of the most effective strategies to reduce risk during natural disasters. Although many studies have investigated factors affecting evacuation decisions (e.g., socio-economic, risk forecast, demographic, environmental cues, etc.), how all these factors interplay in forming the...

The impacts of sea level rise (SLR) are already being felt in many populous and low-lying coastal areas worldwide, making it one of the most pressing threats posed by climate change. While public concerns and perceptions regarding SLR have been widely studied, there remains limited research...
