Resilience assessment of road networks is essential to ensure the continuity of critical services following hazard events. Regional transportation resilience assessment requires detailed datasets and advanced computational modeling, which are often unavailable in assessments performed in the Global South. In this study, we present a probabilistic regional resilience assessment framework for road networks in contexts where detailed data are not available. The framework captures agency costs, user costs, and environmental costs. The framework enables benefit-cost analysis as well as incorporating climate projection scenarios for resilience investment analysis. The application of the framework is demonstrated in a case study for regional resilience analysis in Haiti as part of the Resilient Urban Transport and Accessibility Project (RUTAP) by the World Bank. The findings show the capabilities of the framework in providing quantitative insights for informed decision-making to improve regional resilience of road networks in the context of Global South.
