Abstract
Fostering the inclusion of diverse people and communities has become a central focus of policies and practices geared towards reducing the risk of disaster. The National Emergency Management Agency stresses the importance of adopting a whole-of-society, participatory and inclusive approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and resilience building. But how do we ensure that the unique and diverse experiences, needs and capacities of New Zealanders are recognized and integrated in DRR? This sourcebook/introductory bibliographic guide takes a step forward in this direction by compiling existing research dealing with inclusion and DRR in Aotearoa New Zealand. It has been specifically developed for an audience of practitioners and scholars, with the aim of supporting the development and implementation of (more) inclusive research-informed DRR practices in the country.
