| Summary/Abstract |
Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters. This article aims to gain a deeper understanding of the specific effects of natural disasters on children and how they could better be involved in the disaster risk reduction (DRR) process. The article begins with a review of the literature published on the Child-led Disaster Risk Reduction (CLDRR) approach and describes the key issues. Then it identifies the effects of floods on children in Bangladesh and analyses the traditional coping mechanisms developed by communities, highlighting where they could be improved. Finally, it analyses how DRR stakeholders involve children in the DRR process and identifies the opportunities and gaps for the mainstreaming of a CLDRR approach in Bangladesh. This should contribute to a better understanding of how key DRR stakeholders can protect children during natural disasters. Encouraging the building of long-term, child-sensitive DRR strategies is an essential part of this process.

| Summary/Abstract |
Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) was once again in the news for devastation and intense trauma associated with hundreds of unnatural deaths. This time, the cause was not the commonly known beast of terrorism and / or cross border attacks, rather the damage was caused by nature’s fury in the form of unprecedented floods and inundation. The scale of intensity of extreme weather incidences like the J&K flood repeatedly being out the inadequacies in the country’s disaster response capabilities

| Summary/Abstract |
Alarmism has enabled the extension and reconfiguration of sovereign power at thresholds of human mobility in ways that exemplify the shifting and polymorphic nature of borders. Extending critical geopolitical scholarship on alarmism and the geographies of bordering, this paper examines how alarmism is used to exert control over legal-discursive thresholds that people must cross to gain political asylum in the US. By analysing the most ambiguous area of asylum protection: proving that persecution is motivated by one’s “membership in a particular social group”, I demonstrate how refugee definitions are often contested and changed in response to “floodgate fears”, a type of alarmist legal argumentation. Rather than addressing the merits of an individual asylum case, the floodgate argument invites speculation about the effects a particular juridical decision will have on future cases, and therein translates wider racist, nationalist fears of being overwhelmed by alien “others” into otherwise banal legal codes. In precedent-setting asylum law, these fear-laden speculations can shape legal-discursive thresholds for years to come, enacting targeted exclusion and widening the pool of “legitimate” targets of evolving border enforcement tactics. This analysis of legal alarmism and the formation of asylum case law focuses on the unique relationship between the particular social group threshold and the history and contemporary struggles of Central American asylum seekers.

| Summary/Abstract |
The study of disasters requires at the outset an understanding of the geographic variability in' the hazards and their impacts; the geographic variability in populations at risk; the vulnerability of population and the context in which these three interact. It is imperative to ?rst understand the meaning of the terms disasters, hazard, risk and vulnerability.
