摘要

Around 5,000 people were successfully evacuated by fishing fleet from the island of Heimaey to the Icelandic mainland within the first 15 h of the Eldfell eruption in 1973. Pets, livestock, fishing industry supplies, community services and personal belongings were left on Heimaey however, with many believing the evacuation only a precautionary exercise. As the severity of the eruption became clear, thoughts turned to the evacuation of the non-human, or more-than-human, but was stalled by the island’s location and poor planning by authorities. This paper uses interviews and archived historical documents to investigate the non-human evacuation from Heimaey and suggests combining More-Than-Human and Plural and Relational Values approaches to disaster management planning, to consider at-risk communities through a more holistic lens.
