'Divided disasters' are conflicts and natural hazard-induced disasters that occur simultaneously, but in different locations within the same national boundaries. They will place pressure on the same national governance structures, will draw on the same international and national humanitarian resources, and therefore can mutually reinforce the challenges and risks faced by affected populations. Yet, as this paper argues, the impacts do not originate in the direct interaction of these two variables. Rather, they derive, in part, from the management of humanitarian responses to them-namely, through the reprioritisation of attention and the redeployment of resources as driven by the imperatives of 'the good project'. Using a case study of the Philippines, and the parallel emergencies of Typhoon Haiyan (one of the strongest tropical cyclones on record) and the spike in violence in Mindanao in 2013, this paper explores the organisational motivators of humanitarian responses to divided disasters, and assesses their implications for affected populations.
“分裂灾难”是指同时在同一国家边界内不同地点发生的冲突和自然灾害引发的灾难。它们将给同一国家治理结构带来压力，消耗相同的国际和国家人道主义资源，因此可能会相互加剧受灾人群面临的挑战和风险。然而，正如本文所指出的，这些影响并非源自这两个变量的直接相互作用。相反，它们部分源自对人道主义应对措施的管理，即通过“好项目”的必然要求重新优先考虑和重新部署资源。本文以菲律宾为例，以及 2013 年台风海燕（有记录以来最强的热带气旋之一）和棉兰老岛暴力事件激增这两起平行的紧急情况，探讨了应对分裂灾难的人道主义反应的组织动机，并评估了它们对受灾人群的影响。
