International Journal of Mass Emergencies & Disasters (IJMED)

The International Journal of Mass Emergencies & Disasters (IJMED) is a long‑established, peer‑reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge on the social and behavioral dimensions of disasters and mass emergencies. Founded in 1983, it is one of the oldest journals in disaster science, offering a respected forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share interdisciplinary research that illuminates how individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions interact with and are affected by various hazards — including natural events like earthquakes and floods, technological failures, and human‑induced crises. IJMED emphasizes rigorous empirical, theoretical, and methodological work that addresses all phases of the disaster cycle: prevention/mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The journal’s scope spans social sciences, emergency management, environmental studies, engineering, and policy analysis, encouraging research that sheds light on risk perception, vulnerability, resilience, planning and policy effectiveness, equity in disaster impacts, and community capacity building. Through original research articles, conceptual analyses, and interdisciplinary perspectives, IJMED fosters deeper understanding of complex societal challenges associated with disasters, contributing to both academic discourse and practical improvements in disaster management practice. Its international authorship and readership reflect the global significance of disaster research and its relevance to policymakers, scholars, and emergency professionals worldwide.
