There are many ways the formal US emergency management system fails women but not preparing for the increase in domestic violence post-disaster is one of the most egregious.

(True internationally too but I'll just talk US here).

Here’s what the research says:

Post-disaster the number of women who seek out domestic violence shelters & the number of reported cases of domestic violence increase. There is a resurgence/ increase in abuse & new cases of abuse reported.
Survivors who left abusive relationships pre-disaster may re-enter these relationships post-disaster. When someone loses their home & does not have the ability to access resources they may have no option but to return to their abusers in an effort to met needs like housing.

So much disaster & emergency management research exists.

No one reads it. Let's change this.

My twitter resolution is to post one journal article a day for the whole year.

(I’ll post open source articles when available but if you can't access an article DM and I will send you a copy.)
Let’s start at the beginning. Samuel Prince’s 1920 dissertation is credited with being the first systematic social analysis of a disaster.
