The Impact of Emergencies on Corruption Risks: Italian Natural Disasters and Public Procurement
ABSTRACT Theory and case studies suggest that emergencies and disasters increase corruption, especially in public procurement, hampering relief and reconstruction efforts. Despite a growing interest in the topic, including in research, there is still little systematic evidence about these effects, their structure and trajectories.

Water outage predictions for natural hazards using synthetic water distribution systems
Abstract Hazards can impact water systems, leading to water outages that result in economic, environmental, and societal losses. Modeling a system's behavior helps develop short‐term restoration strategies and long‐term resilience planning. However, data on the topology and operational characteristics of real water systems are often unavailable outside

Abstract Devastating earthquakes can cause affected households to relocate. Postearthquake relocation disrupts impacted households' social ties and, in some instances, their access to affordable services. Simulation‐based approaches that model postearthquake relocation decision‐making can be valuable tools for supporting the development of related ...

ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbate political tensions, making politicians more vulnerable to criticisms from both internal and external actors. This vulnerability fuels political actors' desire to undermine their rivals' popularity through blame games. While blame games are frequent and intense in Turkish politics, how they are linguistically constructed ...
