Micro Human Efforts in Disaster Resiliency

In 2021, a thought-provoking special issue of the I nternational Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters (IJMED) ignited an important conversation about Micro Human Efforts (MHE). Titled “Multidisciplinary Perspectives of Micro Human Efforts in Post-Disaster Recovery”, this issue opened the door to exploring the vital, yet often overlooked, role of small-scale human efforts during extreme climatic events. Recognizing the emerging significance of MHE, the special issue&s;s editors teamed up with IJMED to establish some preliminary definitions. As the official dissemination platform of the International Sociological Association&s;s (ISA) Research Committee on Sociology of Disasters (RC39), IJMED stood out as a credible platform for addressing these multifaceted themes tied to climate-induced disasters.
