Integrated decision-support framework for enhancing coastal community resilience against hurricane-induced hazards
Coastal communities face escalating threats from hurricanes, necessitating a shift from descriptive risk assessment to prescriptive, optimized portfolio planning to enhance resilience. This study introduces an integrated decision-support framework that couples high-fidelity, multihazard socio-physical system modeling with a multi-objective optimization model. The framework quantifies the cascading impacts of hurricane-induced wind, storm surge, a…
Managed retreat in the face of sea level rise
Sea level rise, intensifying coastal hazards, and climate driven catastrophes pose a growing threat to low lying communities. Managed retreat has emerged as a critical adaptation strategy involving the strategic relocation of people, infrastructure, and ecosystems. This study reframes managed retreat from a last resort measure to a proactive, socially equitable, and ecologically grounded strategy for climate resilience. We offer a multidimensiona…
Behavioral Economic Analysis of Framing Effects on Residential Safe Room Demand
Tornadoes cause widespread financial and infrastructural damages and pose a hazard to human well-being. Much of the US Midwest and Southeast endure tornadic events and potentially tornadic storms annually, yet in-house safe rooms and publicly accessible shelters remain quite limited creating avoidable risk. The purpose of this study was to use a simulated operant behavioral economic framework to model how reimbursement and warning-text language p…
A multi-step framework for measuring post-earthquake recovery
“And Then Covid-19 Happened”
There is a limited but growing body of literature on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on academic faculty, scholars, and researchers in the US and around the world. In this article, we present findings of a US-based study conceived in 2020 at the onset of COVID-19. In it, we focus on ways in which the pandemic has affected the professional and personal lives of hazard and disaster researchers from the social sciences, public health, engineeri…
A Framework for Characterizing Uncertainty Factors in Postdisaster Structural Performance Assessment Data
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views expressed in this Forum article do not necessarily reflect the views of ASCE or the Editorial Board of the journal
Is Time on Our Side? A Longitudinal Analysis of the Quality of Mandated Plans
Do plans get better over time? This deceptively simple question goes to the heart of our profession’s effectiveness. We use a multi-state, longitudinal analysis of eighty-four local plans to add to our knowledge base about changes in plan quality over time. Our longitudinal findings reinforce and extend the conclusions of previous cross-sectional studies of hazard mitigation plan quality. Simply put, local planning to meet federal Disaster Mitiga…
Virtual Testbeds for Community Resilience Analysis
As the quantitative hazard research, particularly stemming from the engineering fields, aims to move from component- and building-level modeling into the interdisciplinary space of community-level modeling for resilience, the need to test, verify, and validate community resilience algorithms becomes a critical challenge; virtual testbeds are an effective tool for such purposes. We define a virtual testbed as an environment with enough supporting …
Incorporating Socioeconomic Metrics in Civil Engineering Projects
This paper explores the role of socioeconomic metrics in the design, planning and operations of civil engineering projects within the specific context of resilience. The inclusion of resilience analysis and design is consistent with the goals of the ASCE Infrastructure Resilience Division (IRD) and related emerging standards and duties of civil engineers. This paper focuses on the practices in design, planning, construction, and operation of civi…
Implementation of social equity metrics in an engineering-based framework for distributing disaster resources
Examining Tornado Vulnerability in Kansas with Recent Findings from an EF4 Tornado
Tornadoes are one of the most frequently occurring natural hazards in the United States, yet historically they have been understudied in the engineering and social science literature. This first presents the findings from a quick response damage investigation following an EF4 tornado in northeastern Kansas. The nearly 52-km long tornado path damaged hundreds of buildings, but fortunately resulted in no fatalities. That case study was used as moti…
Community Resilience-Focused Technical Investigation of the 2016 Lumberton, North Carolina, Flood
In early October 2016, Hurricane Matthew crossed North Carolina as a Category 1 storm, with some areas receiving 0.38–0.46 m (15–18 in.) of rainfall on already saturated soil. The NIST-funded Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning teamed with researchers from NIST’s Engineering Laboratory (Disaster and Failure Studies Program, Community Resilience Group, and the Applied Economics Office) to conduct a field study focused on the impact…
