abstract="For nearly 40 years, disaster researchers have analyzed the disruption to affected residents' ontological security, often represented by routines and familiar landmarks. Surprisingly little of this work looks at who is most likely to experience feelings of disruption. Using a representative set of survey data complemented with follow-up interview data from 40 affected residents collected after the costliest flood in Canadian history, this article analyzes how demographic characteristics, such as gender, place attachment, and direct material impact of the flood impact residents' feelings of disruption and loss. The findings indicate that women and residents with greater social and emotional ties to their neighbourhoods were most likely to experience disrupted ontological security. Home flooding and evacuation orders were also significant predictors. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for policymakers and service providers.
