In this study I wanted to examine the existing and potential synergy between the professions of landscape architecture and emergency management in the context of climate change mitigation. Findings show that, while both professions share many common objectives, this is an underused professional relationship, particularly in the mitigation and planning phases of the disaster cycle. Aside from identifying this gap in the peer-reviewed research, this study produced a set of recommendations to increase the practical connectivity between these professions. When developing the research methodology, one goal was to focus on two specific professions like this so the results would be practical and translative to other professions working on similar projects.
