Abstract

The study of community resilience requires modeling of each sector across a community, but the sectors must interact, often representing contributions from different scientific disciplines. This type of complex modeling requires the analyst to not only have an understanding of disciplines outside of engineering but to actively work and engage with key experts in sociology/planning and economics. This presentation will begin with an overview of the Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning’s approach to merge engineering, social science/planning, and economics to form the Interdependent Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (IN-CORE). This includes learning from an interdisciplinary longitudinal field study beginning in 2016 to present for flooding in Lumberton, NC, including challenges posed by a second hurricane and the pandemic on data collection and interpretation. The presentation will close with an illustrative example application of a community planning for tornado hazard and an example of resilience-informed policy guidance.
