Every night in New Zealand, one person in every 120 people is homeless. A quarter of those who are homeless are children. In Australia these numbers are even higher.  People experiencing homelessness have been identified as a vulnerable group in relation to natural disasters.  Research in the US suggests that people experiencing homelessness are more at risk during natural disasters because they have limited access to the economic, social and community resources needed for preparation, evacuation and full recovery (Wisner, 1998; Edgington, 2009; Enarson & Fordham, 2001). However, in Australasia, we know very little about the unique vulnerabilities of people experiencing homelessness, nor about specific, targeted interventions that increase their resilience to natural disasters. This paper provides an overview of research on the vulnerability of homeless people. It identifies important issues to consider when planning responses to disasters which include homeless people. It also provides suggestions for how we might support greater disaster resilience for people experiencing homelessness. Finally, the paper outlines what we still need to know about homelessness, vulnerability and resilience to increase their inclusion in disaster management.
