Abstract
This chapter explores the refugee community's perceptions of disasters and crises and how the perceptions affect refugee populations' crisis communication and their emergency preparedness and response. Through in-depth interviews with refugees in the United States, this research identifies the institutional, social, and individual dimensions regarding refugees' crisis communication and disaster preparedness. It aims to re-conceptualize the refugee identity and their social vulnerability and discuss the effective way to integrate cultural understanding and dimension into crisis communication and disaster reduction.
