This book illuminates the concept of disaster communities. Bringing together a series of international case studies, it provides an eclectic overview of how different forms of media and journalism contribute to our understanding of the lived experiences of communities at risk from, affected by, and recovering from disaster. In doing so, the research and perspectives presented in this collection aim to illustrate the utility of disaster communities as an analytical concept for future research. This collection considers the different forms of media and journalism produced by and for communities and how they may recognise and speak to the different notions of community that emerge in disaster contexts. Divided into three sections, this book uses case studies that encompass vulnerabilities and consequences for disaster communities that arise from environmental destruction and geophysical hazards, the insecurity created by armed conflict and limitations on journalistic freedoms, and result from human (in)action and humanitarian crises.
