Dear Martina (and list),
The Gender and Disaster Network http://www.gdnonline.org might have some useful sources and contacts. Some books on gender and disasters, covering aspects of what you seek, include:
1. "The Gendered Terrain Of Disaster: Through Women's Eyes" https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ODDaAAAAMAAJ
2. "Women, Gender and Disaster: Global Issues and Initiatives" https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=0dKGAwAAQBAJ
3. "Gender, Development and Disasters" https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-0cTjvSjBXEC
4. "The Women of Katrina: How Gender, Race, and Class Matter in an American Disaster" https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZmapuAAACAAJ
5. "Understanding Climate Change through Gender Relations" https://www.routledge.com/Understanding-Climate-Change-through-Gender-Relations/Buckingham-Masson/p/book/9781138957671
6. "Men, Masculinities and Disaster" https://www.routledge.com/Men-Masculinities-and-Disaster/Enarson-Pease/p/book/9781138934177
The following paper might be of interest:Neumayer, E. andT. Plümper. 2007. "The Gendered Nature of Natural Disasters: The Impact ofCatastrophic Events on the Gender Gap in Life Expectancy, 1981–2002".Annals of the Association of American Geographers, vol. 97, no. 3, pp. 551-566.
For floods, we address some gender aspects in:Jonkman, S.N. and I. Kelman. 2005. "An Analysis of Causes and Circumstances of Flood Disaster Deaths". Disasters, vol. 29, no. 1 (March), pp. 75-97
One note is that, to a large degree, disaster research aims to avoid the term "natural disaster". Disaster risk emerges from a combination of hazard and vulnerability. Hazards can be based in the environment, but as for most floods and droughts, there tends to be a human element influencing the environmental hazards. Vulnerability is entirely human-caused. As such, disasters do not emerge from nature, but from human actions, decisions, values, and behaviours, so few disasters are truly "natural". A few blogs with some further articulation are for climate change http://www.21stcentury.co.uk/science/climate-change-vulnerability and drought https://mahb.stanford.edu/blog/when-is-drought-drought
More detail, including a chapter on "Gender, Sexuality and Disaster" is in our Handbook https://www.routledge.com/Handbook-of-Hazards-and-Disaster-Risk-Reduction/Wisner-Gaillard-Kelman/p/book/9780415590655
Hope this assists a bit and best wishes for your work on the topic,
Ilan

That is to say how men and women are differently affected by water related natural disasters e.g. droughts, floods etc., how these trigger their migration and what are the consequences on the leaving and receiving countries.
