Beyond Deaths and Dollars: Modeling Requirements to Support Equity‐Focused Disaster Risk Management
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.The disaster risk modeling framework has long focused on quantifiable impact metrics to assess a hazard's potential direct effects, such as fatalities (deaths) and economic losses (dollars). Over time, as the framework has expanded to inform both public and private applications, additional impact metrics that more directly consider the societal roots ...

Operationalizing Equity: How Disaggregated Risk Metrics Support Equity in Emergency Management
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.While numerous studies show that natural hazards disproportionately impact socially vulnerable populations, approaches to integrate social equity into emergency management to reduce such vulnerability have been ill‐defined and inconsistent. Considering earthquake disasters, emergency managers often lack information from near‐real‐time seismic loss ...

Climate Change and Insurance: Embracing Resilience for Private Market Survival
Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 8499-8510, December 2025.ABSTRACT Private insurance is a major mechanism for managing natural disaster risk in the U.S. Public programs cannot generate sufficient capital to provide adequate protection to homes and businesses. Our literature review indicates that disaster impacts are increasing because of climate change and continuing development in high‐risk areas, which is ...
