Assessment of China's 20 years of infrastructure and policy development for flood disaster management
Healthcare collapse and disease spread
The findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive international support to rebuild Gaza's healthcare infrastructure and improve disease management. Addressing the shortages of medical supplies, enhancing disease surveillance, and providing psychological support for healthcare workers are critical steps in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases. The study highlights the broader implications of healthcare system collapse in conflict z…
The Impact of Wind Characteristics on the Spatial Distribution of Damage to the Built Environment during Wildfire Events
In recent years, several places all over the world have experienced devastating wildfire events that have resulted in exorbitant losses. With the climate warming every year, the trend of destructive fires is expected to continue in the future as well. To be better prepared for such events, an understanding of interaction between wildfires and the built environment is required. In this study, a graph-based approach is utilized to predict the damag…
Human-Centered Approach for Resilience Assessment of Healthcare Networks Subjected to Sequential Earthquakes
Healthcare services are critical for community resilience and stability as their role after disastrous events is indispensable to reducing casualties and returning the community to normalcy. Sequential mainshock-aftershock events can damage hospital components, reduce utility availability, and cause multiple patient surges. No studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of mainshock-aftershock events on healthcare resilience. Accordingly, …
How Construction and Socioeconomic Resource Availability Affected Housing Recovery after Hurricane Sandy
The US utilizes a market-driven resourcing approach for post-disaster residential housing reconstruction, where homeowners must quickly secure financial capital to compete for limited construction resources. However, homeowners’ financial capital resource availability is driven by household socioeconomic status. Construction resource availability is constrained by the available supply of labor and material within the local construction industry m…
Preliminary Documented Recovery Patterns and Observations from Video Cataloged Data of the 2011 Joplin, Missouri, Tornado
The 2011 Joplin, Missouri, tornado was one of the deadliest and costliest tornadoes in US history, damaging approximately 8,000 structures and causing more than $2 billion in economic damages. As with most extreme events, reports following the tornado documented the widespread damage, including complete destruction of one of the local hospitals along with various schools. However, recovery processes have not been documented and evaluated at the s…
Shaping urbanization to achieve communities resilient to floods
Flood risk is increasing in urban communities due to climate change and socioeconomic development. Socioeconomic development is a major cause of urban expansion in flood-prone regions, as it places more physical, economic, and social infrastructure at risk. Moreover, in light of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the United Nations, it has become an international imperative to move toward sustainable cities. Current approaches to quan…
Barriers to gauging built environment climate vulnerability
Validation of Time-Dependent Repair Recovery of the Building Stock Following the 2011 Joplin Tornado
This paper seeks to calibrate an existing analytical framework to develop building repair fragility models using a restoration dataset collected through a longitudinal field study in the city of Joplin, Missouri, after the catastrophic 2011 Enhanced Fujita 5 tornado. First, an existing recovery data set from Joplin is documented and the main findings pertaining to the observed recovery trajectory of the buildings are highlighted. In the next step…
Concluding the 2017 Hurricane Season
The 2017 hurricane season was a costly multi-billion-dollar season for the United States. Communicating the real-time risk of these events to the public is usually performed through explanations from meteorologists via media coverage. However, despite meteorologists’ expert knowledge, the public will sometimes not heed warnings because they have developed mistrust in the accuracy of the science used and sometimes believe that media coverage exagg…
Finite-Element Model of Impact Loading and Deformation of a Flexible Steel Ring-Net Debris-Flow Barrier
The objective of this study is to simulate the stress-displacement behavior of a flexible debris-flow mitigation structure in a three-dimensional finite-element model. Flexible steel ring-net structures are used for debris-flow mitigation in mountainous terrain. Although these structures have been shown effective in geohazard mitigation, their design does not incorporate coupled interactions between debris-flow mechanics and stress-strain respons…
