Abstract

A pattern of sequential and/or simultaneous responses to vulnerability to food access under climate-induced disasters builds up from minor adjustments such as diet changes to a major shift in livelihood. The study found that the gainfully-employed respondents-households have taken actions in preparation to possible food inaccessibility under CIDs. The level of awareness on the impact of CIDs on food access and the respondents’ role in the family are significantly related. Further study on the behavioral and psychological responses to other anticipated climate change impacts, especially those that represent ‘‘new’’ and unfamiliar hazards, is timely. A study on the integration of ‘underlying causes’ of vulnerability and adaptive capacity in CIDs impact assessments rather than only focusing on adaptive capacity and technical measures is recommended.
