Abstract
This paper examines how disasters unfold in transborder contexts. Using ethnographic research collected in the Haitian-Dominican border town of Comendador, Elías Piña after the 2010 earthquake, this paper reveals how transborder social relations distribute disaster damage beyond the bounded and static frameworks that characterized post-disaster discourse. It also exposes the limitations of utilizing geopolitical boundaries to frame hazards and disasters. The concept of disaster fields is proposed as an alternative configuration that considers interconnections between direct impact areas and distant locations.
