Recognizing Our Role in Reframing Disaster and Emergency Management Terminology to Enhance Human Agency and Responsibility

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract This work addresses the critical issue of science literacy and science communication for scientists, researchers, officials, organizations, and the general public. Effective communication and trust between these groups are essential, particularly as the severity and scope of disasters continue to increase.

A Field Guide to Corralling the Chaos: A Planning Framework for Using Models to Guide Opportunistic Field Studies of Natural Disturbances

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Watersheds regulate biogeochemical processes and provide ecosystem services to human societies, but disturbances can fundamentally alter these processes across space and time. Determining when and where to sample to capture disturbance impacts in watersheds remains a central challenge.

Food Insecurity and the Fortunate Index as Potential Indicators of Recoverability Following a Rapid‐Onset Disaster

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 4, December 2026.
Short Abstract The data in the public domain have been used to develop two indices: food insecurity and fortunateness. These two indices have been combined to assess the recoverability of communities in the City of Tshwane, South Africa. ABSTRACT Local government should inform citizens if they live in disaster‐prone areas.

Rising Waters, Shifting Finances: Rural Household Decisions Under Flood Risk

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how flood exposure and credit‐market reform jointly shape household repayment behavior in flood‐prone rural areas. Using monthly household loan records from Jiayu County, Hubei Province, China, during the 2020 flood season, we analyze first‐time overdue behavior and proactive repayment toward overdue debt.

Rethinking Potential Flood Damage Assessment: A Data‐Driven Alternative to Varnes‐Based Models

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Reducing flood damage is a key challenge for both administrators and communities, particularly in the face of increasing climate‐related impacts. A fundamental prerequisite for effective damage reduction is a detailed understanding of the spatial distribution of territorial susceptibility to flood damage.

Adaptive Prototype‐Based Few‐Shot Segmentation for Debris Flow Early Warning

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
From single‐parameter monitoring to a cross‐modal few‐shot visual paradigm for debris flow early warning. Conventional rainfall‐gauge and mud‐level monitoring is data‐sparse, delayed in response, and spatially limited. The proposed framework instead fuses a support set, a query image, and a textual target category through ResNet‐50 and CLIP encoders ...
