We have a journal which may be of interest to subscribers to this list:DISASTERS Published on behalf of the Overseas Development Institute
DISASTERS brings together research on disasters, vulnerability and relief and emergency management. From natural hazards through to complex, conflict-related emergencies, the journal aims to improve both the practice of disaster relief and our understanding of the environmental, social and political factors that make people vulnerable to disasters in the first place. DISASTERS also includes book reviews and a conference report.
