Fiji and Disasters References By Kirstie Méheux [email protected] 16 September 2007 Available from http://www.islandvulnerability.org/fiji/fijireferences.pdf

This is a list of texts which I have come across in the course of my PhD research (see http://www.islandvulnerability.org/fiji.html#meheuxphd ). The texts are predominantly related to disasters in Fiji, however, there are a few which have a broader Pacific-wide focus. I have also included a few texts that focus on climate change in the Pacific.
