The journal has long been a home for the lab’s research, publishing our work on humanitarian shelter, housing vulnerability, storm surge evacuation, and disaster risk creation – see our publications page. Dr Opdyke’s editorial role continues the lab’s commitment to strengthening the evidence base for disaster risk reduction.
