Selecting Longitudinal Community Outcomes for Resilience Indicator Validation
Having a scientifically grounded set of community resilience indicators has been a long-sought goal in multiple fields of study and practice. Community resilience is a complex system consisting of emergent properties. Accordingly, community resilience frameworks have been designed to estimate the level of resilience through varying sets of cross-sectional indicators. However, current framework designs are not well suited for tracking longitudinal…
Methodological Recommendations for Content Validation of Community Resilience Indicators
Community resilience indicators increasingly have been used in disaster resilience planning and decision making. However, the methods used to validate that such indicators measure what they claim to measure continue to be lacking. Part of the issue is that validation is a multidimensional concept, and there is limited guidance in the literature on which dimensions are most relevant to community resilience indicators. Consequently, most studies fo…
Validating Commonly Used Indicators for Community Resilience Measurement
This study quantitatively examines indicators frequently used to estimate community resilience and proposes a method for assessing the validity of indicators used in community resilience measurement. An array of 18 indicators and related measures were identified as being common to existing methodologies. A comprehensive and replicable method that can evaluate the reliability and validity of community resilience indicators was then employed to exp…
State of the research in community resilience: Progress and challenges
Community resilience has been addressed across multiple disciplines including environmental sciences, engineering, sociology, psychology, and economics. Interest in community resilience gained momentum following several key natural and human-caused hazards in the United States and worldwide. To date, a comprehensive community resilience model that encompasses the performance of all the physical and socio-economic components from immediate impact …
Importance of Households in Business Disaster Recovery
The authors seek to contribute to the understanding of post-disaster community interdependencies by examining the recovery linkages between businesses and households. Specifically, this research looks to identify the household dimensions that affect recovery quality in businesses in Lumberton, North Carolina, after the 2016 Hurricane Matthew. Through an interdisciplinary field study 15 months after the hurricane, businesses were asked about the l…
Community Resilience-Focused Technical Investigation of the 2016 Lumberton, North Carolina, Flood: An Interdisciplinary Approach
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…
