Re: New open access article - (Un)just post-disaster mobilities in small island developing states: Revisiting the patterns and outcomes of three major environmental disasters in the Caribbean

[Stacy-ann Robinson]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to bring your attention to a new article titled, "(Un)just post-disaster mobilities in small island developing states: Revisiting the patterns and outcomes of three major environmental disasters in the Caribbean".

Published in the International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, it qualitatively contextualizes the structural factors that affected mobilities following the eruption of the Soufriére Hills volcano in Montserrat in 1995, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti in 2010, and the passage of Hurricane Irma across Barbuda in 2017.

It calls for (1) more appropriately-designed insurance products, (2) debt forgiveness to help increase fiscal space for response and recovery, and (3) the use of legal channels to make governments liable for unjust mobilities.

Please feel free to on-share with other colleagues who might be interested.

Regards,

Dr Stacy-ann Robinson
