Measuring the social costs of disaster evacuatuons

How is a community adapting during resettlement after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake?
 ERIC DES MARAIS , 13 November 13 Disaster-induced resettlement is a complex and dangerous prospect for communities, and will likely increase as a result of climate change. While community recovery is widely studied, there is a gap in knowledge that explicitly links ecosystem disruption to social adaptation in post-disaster resettlement scenarios. This study of an agricultural community displaced by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake seeks to determine how the community is adapting in a way that informs both their own resettlement as well as other interventions for sustainable resettlement. https://www.microryza.com/projects/how-is-a-community-adapting-during-resettlement-after-the-2011-great-east-japan-earthquake
