The LA wildfires are a stark reminder: when misinformation shapes disaster response, lives are at risk.

I've developed a case study exploring this, in support of my "Populism, Post-Truth Politics, & Disaster Risk" report launched last month.

Excited to share my final 2024 report, “First Responders’ Engagement with Marginalised & Hyper-Marginalised Groups.”

It highlights critical gaps in disaster response for diverse communities & calls for systemic reforms. Download it for free here: lnkd.in/e9nS9p97

(1/3) Attention DRR & AI professionals: I'm looking for real-world examples of AI in disaster risk reduction leaving marginalised groups behind.

In the data it learns from, the design choices behind it, or who it actually reaches.

A call for collaboration - short 🧵

Great thread here from Jim on his own experiences working as a first responder in disaster contexts.

Good stuff. I've had a few eye-opening experiences. Once, we were working a fire at a big ski resort and the wealthy homeowners were demanding all of our time. It took me a couple of days before I realized we were missing the people who cleaned houses, cooked meals, and washed towels at the spa. 1/

If you’re interested in disaster risk reduction, intersectionality, & the experiences of marginalised communities, you can find my research here: drrdynamics.com/publications.

I see "people-centred" used more often in #DRR, which is great - but it needs to be about more than buzzwords & ticking boxes.

True people-centred DRR means meaningful participation, valuing local knowledge, & focusing on equitable outcomes.

🚨 New report 🚨

The people most at risk in #disasters are often invisible to AI systems and can't access them even when they work.

Double exclusion is a structural problem, not a design flaw.

Proposed addendum to the UNDRR Gender Action Plan, developed after #DRRLive, aims to better reflect the needs of gender & sexual minorities in disaster risk reduction.

Developed as a resource to support LGBTQIA+ inclusion in #DRR.

We did a thing!

Gender and sexual minorities now have a seat at global #DRR discussions. We'll be advocating for a better understanding of GSM vulnerabilities, capacities and requirements!

The hazard is natural. The disaster that follows is a decision. Decisions including who is & isn't helped.

Free webinar on #NoNaturalDisasters and #InclusiveDRR, & why they are the same argument. For anyone starting a relevant degree next month.

16 Sept, 1pm BST, online.

Read 'The Landscape of Disaster Film, 2000–20' yesterday by @samlmontano.bsky.social & @johncarrem.bsky.social. Great paper (link - bit.ly/48yXPNQ)

As we increasingly experience the world through entertainment & escapism, this feels important.

Coming next week:

"Populism, Post-Truth Politics, & Disaster Risk: Challenges for Governance & Marginalised Communities".

Written as part of my 2025 research focus on #InclusiveDRR & emerging risks, the policy brief will consider the role of populism & post-truth politics in #disasters.

Hello new followers & welcome.

FYI, a little about my interests:

1) #InclusiveDRR & ensuring marginalised & hyper-marginalised groups are included in disaster risk reduction.
2) #NoNaturalDisasters advocate
3) Politics (primarily UK, EU & USA). Left of centre.
4) Nature, animals & photography

Submitted a side event session regarding gender and sexual minorities in #DRR to the UNDRR Global Platform and it was rejected.

So I guess it's going to be cis-het and gender binary focused as always then? 😢

This is relevant for queer and trans/gender non-conforming folk more than most.

Disasters highlight the gap some LGBTQIA+ people experience in biological support networks.

Defining a system by rigid, western standards risks excluding many.

#InclusiveDRR
Chosen family vs. biological family in disaster & emergency situations.

The nature of "family" changes all the time through societal, cultural & economic shifts. But #DRR & #EmergencyManagement continue to stick to rigid definitions.

Time for a rethink?

Autumn reminds us that change is constant.

The cooler days and falling leaves are predictable, yet we still need to prepare. #DRR is similar.

When everyone’s experiences shape planning, we are better prepared for what comes next.
