  • Summary

    This chapter explores how traffickers exploit economic pressure, political instability, and social and cultural factors present during disasters, linking said activities to ecoviolence. While disasters thrust victims into a state of heightened vulnerability, Federal, State, and local emergency management agencies should update their preparedness, response, and recovery programs to include preventative measures to mitigate foreseeable secondary victimization. While the research field focusing on the nexus between natural disasters and the trafficking of persons is in a nascent stage, experts are starting to examine the value of well-trained responders who play in the mosaic of a “whole-of-government” counter-trafficking response plan. This chapter will conclude with a planned emergency management response to climate change that results in more extreme events across the globe.
