The literature body on cyclone strikes in Bangladesh suggests that people sometimes fail to evacuate, and that more women than men have died in past disasters. People’s reasoning and decision-making leading up to their disaster (im)mobility are strongly embedded in social structures such as gender systems. Subjective non-evacuation behaviours are founded in collective understandings and reproductions of social values. People’s perceptions around these values therefore offer important empirical evidence that helps us understand who, how and why some people end up immobile or ‘trapped’ when disaster strikes. This study builds on individual and collective unstructured people-centred storytelling sessions and discourse analysis. The storytelling study captured rich empirical insights around the notions of disaster (im)mobility, and their links to the existing power and gender systems. Three thematic areas were identified including; safe and unsafe spaces for women and men, female and male knowledge, and male and female experiences of ‘internal damages’, trauma and mental ill-health. The insightful storylines of socially immobilising attitudes can support building robust climate policy and DRR frameworks that better protect our most vulnerable people across the globe.

关于孟加拉国飓风袭击的文献资料表明，人们有时无法撤离，在过去的灾难中死亡的妇女多于男子。导致灾难（行动不便）的人们的推理和决策被牢固地嵌入到诸如性别体系之类的社会结构中。主观的不撤离行为是建立在对社会价值观的集体理解和复制之上的。因此，人们对这些价值观的理解提供了重要的经验证据，可以帮助我们了解灾难发生时，某些人最终成为不动产或被“困住”的原因，方式和原因。这项研究建立在以个人和集体为中心的以个人为中心的讲故事会议和话语分析的基础上。讲故事的研究围绕灾难（非机动性）概念收集了丰富的经验见解，以及它们与现有权力和性别体系的联系。确定了三个主题领域，包括：为男女提供安全和不安全的空间，男女知识以及“内部损害”，创伤和精神病患者的男女经历。具有社会固定态度的深刻故事情节可以支持建立健全的气候政策和DRR框架，从而更好地保护全球最脆弱的人们。
