How to exchange stories of local flood resilience from flood rich areas to the flooded areas of the future (2020)
Journal Article
Holmes, A., & McEwen, L. (2020). How to exchange stories of local flood resilience from flood rich areas to the flooded areas of the future. Environmental Communication, 14(5), 597-613. https://doi.org/10.1080/17524032.2019.1697325

Flood risk communication requires strong attention to message, messenger and timing within the adaptive cycle. This paper evaluates research that used a co-production of knowledge model to create digital stories from an archive of flood memories, gar...

Why it takes an ‘ontological shock’ to prompt increases in small firm resilience: Sensemaking, emotions and flood risk (2018)
Journal Article
Harries, T., McEwen, L., & Wragg, A. (2018). Why it takes an ‘ontological shock’ to prompt increases in small firm resilience: Sensemaking, emotions and flood risk. International Small Business Journal, 36(6), 712-733. https://doi.org/10.1177/0266242618765231

© The Author(s) 2018. This article uses a sensemaking approach to understand small firms’ responses to the threat of external shocks. By analysing semi-structured interviews with owners of flooded small firms, we investigate how owners process flood...

Recovery and resilience of communities in flood risk zones in a small island developing state: A case study from a suburban settlement of Port Louis, Mauritius. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 28, 826-838. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2018.03.019

Small island developing states (SIDS) are characterised by their small size, remoteness and their dispersal in vulnerable regions globally. In Mauritius, rapid economic growth and expansion of suburban and coastal settlements in flood risk zones have...
