Abstract: Abstract It is widely agreed that successful climate change mitigation efforts will be multidisciplinary in nature and compartmentalization of professions must give way to collaboration across many fields. This interdisciplinary research aims to examine the existing and potential synergy between the professions of landscape architecture and emergency management. The study posits that landscape architects continue to be an underutilized stakeholder in the planning and mitigation efforts by emergency management professionals in the USA. Data for analysis were generated through a review of the available literature. 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. Results are universal and translative, thereby having national and international implications.
