About the journal
Disasters is a major, peer-reviewed quarterly journal reporting on all aspects of disaster studies, policy and management. It aims to provide a forum for academics, policy-makers and practitioners for high-quality research and practice related to natural disasters and complex political emergencies around the world. The journal promotes the interchange of ideas and experience between academics, practitioners and policymakers, maintaining a balance between field reports, case study articles of general interest and academic papers. It also contains book reviews and conference reports. Letters and discussion are welcomed.

Disasters is published for the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) by Blackwell Publishing. Founded in 1960, The ODI is an independent research institute and a forum for discussion of the problems facing developing countries. The journal is managed by the Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) at the ODI. This is one of the largest teams of independent policy researchers in Europe dedicated to improving humanitarian policy and practice in response to conflict, instability and disasters. Over the past five years HPG has demonstrated its ability in both anticipating and responding to the emerging humanitarian policy agenda, and to provide a critical link between academics, policy-makers and field practitioners.
