This first of its kind volume introduces Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DIDRR) in unprecedented critical and interdisciplinary ways covering the complex conceptual, theoretical and practice terrain.

Established and emerging scholars and practitioners introduce and probe key discourses, theory, policy and practice at the intersections of disability, disasters and disaster risk reduction, navigating compound and dynamic areas including climate change, governance, wars and conflict, forced migration, disability representation, geopolitics, gender and ethnicity. This edited book lays out and questions established policies, discourses and practices in mainstream areas including Disaster Risk Reduction, Disaster Risk Management and Humanitarian Action, opening an effective critical debate to understand, challenge and shift dominant paradigms.

By developing new theory on DIDRR, it will serve as an important tool for academics, researchers and practitioners working in multiple fields including disability studies, disaster management, global health, humanitarian studies, international studies and geography among others.
