Preparing for the Extreme Cold
There is limited understanding of the factors that motivate people to take protective action to safeguard water infrastructure during extreme cold weather. Guided by Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and using a survey deployed in a major city in the USA ( N = 343) that is predominately Hispanic (people with origins from Mexico and often Spanish speaking), we found cognitive, demographic, and experiential factors explained 42% of the variance in…
Clear or compliant? The tension between regulatory requirements and public comprehension in boil water advisories
Risk communications should provide clear messages to the public so people can take appropriate actions to protect their health and safety. Boil Water Advisories (BWAs), for instance, help safeguard communities from water quality issues. This study evaluates BWA effectiveness by analyzing 85 advisories from four Texas metropolitan areas, collected from press releases and social media platforms (e.g., Facebook). The evaluation focused on two main a…
The relationship between sociotechnical vulnerability and coastal erosion in rural Alaska
Building institutional trust during disasters
Strengthening individual preparedness for extreme cold weather through enhanced messaging, risk perception, and trust
Enhancing power system resilience to extreme weather events
In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri left 11 million people in Texas without power, caused widespread water outages, and inflicted billions of dollars in damage. While the severity of this event was primarily caused by electricity generator failures, it was made worse by the decisions of utilities and state regulators before, during, and after the event. This study seeks to (1) evaluate the procedures and decisions made by electric utilities during…
Community resilience in a cascading disaster
When multiple types of disasters occur sequentially – a cascading disaster – certain adaptive capacities might become temporarily ineffective or invalid. Advancing an understanding of community resilience in the context of cascading disasters, the current study provides empirical evidence of a hybrid hyperlocal community of practice (HCoP), a novel communicative process facilitated by hybrid organizing, during the 2021 Texas, U.S.A. winter storm.…
Leveraging water utility customer reporting for resilient operations and management
Tracking the post-disaster evolution of water infrastructure resilience
Modeling urban systems
Shelter shopping
Regulatory exemptions illustrate the humanitarian-development nexus in highly developed cities
Path towards community resilience
Individual responsibility towards providing water and wastewater public goods for displaced persons
Conference demographics and footprint changed by virtual platforms
Cascading system impacts of the 2018 Camp Fire in California

Policy driven water sector and energy dependencies in Texas border colonias
Public perceptions from hosting communities
Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Management in Shrinking Cities
Population decline in once vibrant cities has introduced challenges to managing civil infrastructure. These challenges, such as fiscal constraints, reduced personnel, and increasing regulatory standards, are identified in this article in the context of water and wastewater infrastructures when cities do not follow a trajectory of growth. Following the discussion surrounding consequential issues arising from urban decline, retooling alternatives t…
