Overview: Sustainability is a integrative policy agenda often treated as unrelated to disaster management. This paper argues that not only are the two domains related, but are closely connected in terms of substantive issues and of underlying research and policy challenges. The paper examines shared attributes of problems in sustainability and disaster management, and identifies common challenges including: uncertainty; community engagement; integration of social, environmental and economic policy; inter-governmental and - inter-agency coordination; coping with public sector change; broader and deeper spatial and temporal scales; separation of public-private costs and benefits; and enhancing interdisciplinary Research & Development (R&D).
