Abstract

The damage to residential buildings caused by hurricane-induced hazards is significant in the United States. There is a substantial body of research related to assessing physical damages to residential buildings and their direct economic impacts, yet the social consequences of such damages have generally been neglected. Since more socially vulnerable community members tend to live in more vulnerable buildings and neighborhoods, it is imperative to incorporate social vulnerability into community resilience assessment models. In this paper, a novel framework is proposed to create hurricane-induced wind risk maps that include both physical and social vulnerability, so that resilience-informed decisions can be made., Comment: 9 pages - 14th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering

Abstract

Communities are complex systems defined by the interaction of social, economic, environmental, and physical systems. The dynamic response and recovery of a community to a disaster is often tied to the response and recovery of its organizations. This paper employs the Community Capitals framework to understand how organizations contribute to community resilience. The organization-level functionality is defined as the capability of an organization to be used for its intended purposes. Organizations are not solely physical objects, staff and supply chain are identified as critical non-physical components contributing to organizational functionality alongside conventional physical components. Fault trees and a probabilistic framework are developed to measure organizational functionality failure. A fault tree is presented in detail for three organizations, namely, banks, gas stations, and schools, to illustrate the different components necessary for functionality of different organizations. Lastly, a framework for evaluation of community resilience based on organizational functionality is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
