This article introduces the special issue of The Annals of Anthropological Practice on “Continuity and Change in the Applied Anthropology of Risk, Hazards, and Disasters.” After reviewing the factors that account for the heightened anthropological attention to disasters in the early 21st century, I review each of the contributions to the special issue. The topics included in the special issue represent some of the simultaneously perennial and currently pressing issues in the anthropology of risk, hazards, and disaster: vulnerability, resilience, culture change, culture in practice, risk reduction, disaster capitalism, and response and recovery. The objective of this special issue is to help provide an orientation to the theoretical and applied tools that will help anthropologists better prepare to assist in disaster contexts. It will assist those that may be encountering these issues for the first time, as well as those already working in disaster-affected communities.

风险，灾害和灾难的应用人类学的连续性和变化

本文介绍了《人类学实践年鉴》的特刊，“风险，危险和灾难的应用人类学的连续性和变化”。在回顾了人类学在21世纪初引起人们对灾难日益关注的因素之后，我回顾了对这一特殊问题的每一个贡献。本期特刊中的主题代表了风险人类学，灾害和灾难人类学中一些常年且当前紧迫的问题：脆弱性，复原力，文化变革，实践文化，降低风险，灾难资本主义以及应对和恢复。本期特刊的目的是帮助为理论和应用工具提供指导，这将有助于人类学家更好地准备在灾害情况下提供援助。
