Fostering Community Resilience from the Grassroots: Individual Factors Influencing Citizen Coproduction in Disasters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)This research explores how individual factors, including intrinsic motivations, capabilities, and specific characteristics, shape both individual disaster preparedness and volunteering, representing private and altruistic ... -
Characterizing Economic Disruption with the Global Economic Disruption Index
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Impacts of disasters are seen through the lens of death, dollars, and downtime, but downtime eludes quantification. This paper presents (1) the Global Economic Disruption Index (GEDI) as a method of describing the ... -
Climate Adaptation Matrix Concept for Multidisciplinary Community Resilience in a Changing Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Coastal structures are currently built based on standards that rely on stationary loading assumptions and do not account for the changes in hurricanes due to climate change. As a result, buildings and infrastructure are ... -
Seismic Hazard Loss Assessment of Reservoir Dams Based on Random Forest Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Reservoir dams can have a significant impact on social production and daily life in the aftermath of earthquakes. Therefore, it is crucial to implement prompt and effective seismic damage assessment and emergency disposal ... -
Enhancing Disaster Risk Management through Understanding Risk Perception: The Role of Identity in Rural Communities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Risk reduction strategies are guided by vulnerability and hazard assessments, which must be as accurate as possible. Vulnerability is shaped by physical conditions and social characteristics; thus, the response to disasters ... -
Utilizing 3D Building Information Modeling Approaches to Propose Modular Postdisruption Housing Designs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Disruptive events can cause mass population displacement that leads to decision-making dilemmas regarding homelessness, short-term versus long-term infrastructure investment, and resource use. This research uses building ... -
Minor Damage Recognition from Postearthquake Buildings with an Improved Generative Adversarial Semantic Segmentation Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)For postearthquake reconstruction and insurance claims, accurately extracting comprehensive postdisaster building damage is essential. Traditional satellite remote sensing techniques are insufficient for detecting small ... -
Assessing Trust in First Responder Organizations Related to Emergency Management: A Boolean Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)America is seeing a rise in severe weather, which is affecting communities with little to no experience with severe storms. In these moments, communities look to all levels of government to help recover from events. However, ... -
Resilience Evaluation Method for Emergency Management of Infrastructure Construction Projects during Extreme Disasters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)With the changing external environment, infrastructure construction projects are facing extreme disasters with increasing frequency. To effectively prevent, respond to, and adapt to extreme disaster risks and achieve success ... -
The Most Vulnerable to Housing Rebuilding after Hurricane Maria: Evaluating FEMA’s Individuals and Households Program in Puerto Rico
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)In the aftermath of Hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017, thousands of households experienced severe housing damage. To ensure that homeowners can get back on their feet after major disasters, the Federal Emergency Management ... -
Perception versus Preparedness: Unveiling the Gap and Its Significance for Landslide Risk Management in Nepal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Landslides have an enormous impact on the livelihood of people in the Himalayan mountain region, and have led to thousands of deaths in Nepal alone. Understanding people’s perceptions is crucial for policy formulation in ... -
Movement Morphology and Mechanical Characteristics of Small Landslide Debris Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The structural damage of buried pipelines is caused by the strong impact and pressure of landslide debris flow (LDF), which in turn affects the integrity and function of a pipeline. To ensure the safety of natural gas ... -
Modifying Social Vulnerability Indices to Complement Physical Exposure Risk Analyses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Multivariate social vulnerability indices, used to compare communities’ susceptibility to adverse disaster outcomes, cannot be combined with physical exposure risk estimates without double-counting some effects and potentially ... -
Mission-Guided Resilience Investment Allocation for Buildings on DoD Installations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Resilience-based design is emerging as an important frontier in the building design community, seeking to better support communities to absorb and recover from adverse events. Currently the minimum requirements of modern ... -
Machine Learning for Predicting Prehurricane Structural Damage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)This study proposes a novel framework for the prediction of structural damages caused by extreme weather and climate events. In current practice, following a weather event, inspectors manually evaluate damaged structures ... -
Investigating the Impacts of Built Environment Knowledge on Hurricane Evacuation Intentions in a College Student Sample: A Test of the Power of Information
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)During hurricanes, residents’ evacuation decisions are significantly influenced by their knowledge and risk perceptions. However, many residents may lack a precise understanding of the structural integrity of their homes ... -
Incorporating Flood Loss Estimation into Urban Planning and Development Scenarios
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Although disaster-related economic losses continue to accelerate in the US, local hazard mitigation in many cases remains fragmented from mainstream forms of city planning. This paper demonstrates a methodological innovation ... -
Improving the Government’s Rumor–Refutation Effectiveness in Major Public Health Emergencies for Urban Resilience Enhancement: A Case Study of China during COVID-19
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Accelerated by the widespread use of social media, Internet rumors in major public health emergencies will destroy urban resilience. To find the path to improve the effectiveness of government rumor–refutation in major ... -
Impact of Climate Variability on the Feeding Glaciers of Potentially Dangerous Glacial Lakes in the Jhelum Basin of Kashmir Himalaya, India
