Annually, disasters ranging from wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes to epidemics and even pandemics impact diverse communities globally. The calls for and research into improved disaster preparedness and better surveillance and resistance technologies are valid and necessary. However, it is pertinent that we also research and assess communicative practices of specific disasters, especially the discourse, rhetoric, and praxis that shape disaster response and management before, during, and after crises in vulnerable and marginalized communities. In Transnational Assemblages: Social Justice and Crisis Communication During Disaster , Sweta Baniya argues for the prioritization and inclusion of marginalized voices, centering their grounded knowledge, rhetorical agency, and coalitional networks. This will enhance effective and efficient disaster response as well as provide a more nuanced understanding of disaster rhetoric and praxis.
