| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
- COVID-19 has presented significant challenges over the 2020-21 academic year. Despite this, the researchers have maintained regular monthly meetings via Zoom.
- In August 2020 submitted a book chapter proposal to the Australian National University Disaster Risk Science Institute, which was accepted and will be submitted in June 2021.
- In December 2021, published article in the Asia & The Pacific Policy Society.
- On 19 March 2021 presented at an international workshop on Compound, Cascading & Lingering Disasters.
- In April 2021, article formally published in Social Science Japan Journal.
- Currently finalising a 2000 word article for the Asia-Pacific Journal - Japan Focus, which will also be submitted in June 2021 for peer review.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
The COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the research team from carrying out planned fieldwork. The team has continued with literature-based, and web-based research, and has successfully published and presented on research derived from these approaches. Ongoing collaboration between the researchers has moved to online conferencing, as have presentations. The proposed database has been delayed due to challenges associated with collecting primary sources amid the pandemic. A bibliographic database is being developed in the interim, with primary sources to be added if collection of these becomes viable.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to continue to hinder this research for at least the next 12 months, rendering international travel impossible. Domestic travel will be possible, and the research team will seize on any opportunity to conduct domestic fieldwork should it become feasible to do so. In the interim, the focus of research will shift to analysing web-based information. This approach can be justified as the internet remains an important source of information for migrants for a range of policy domains, including disasters.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Fieldwork expenses that could not be used in the previous year are to be allocated to domestic travel and fieldwork in the 2021-22 financial year. Where possible, international fieldwork, will be conducted via telephone and zoom conference calls.
