Disaster Recovery and Resiliency

Current Projects

House under construction (Puerto Rico, February 2020)

Building Capacity for Safer Shelter: Leveraging Local Understanding and Advanced Engineering Assessments

This research seeks to assess the expected safety of reconstructed shelter, analyze household understanding of shelter safety, characterize differences between assessed and perceived safety, and identify strategies to improve shelter safety in the Philippines and Puerto Rico.Read more »

The Risk Landscape of Earthquakes Induced by Deep Wastewater Injection

This research seeks to understand how individuals evaluate information sources regarding the techna hazard of induced seismicity, as well as public beliefs regarding the cause and potential responses to the hazard.Read more »
Relocation site housing under construction

Achieving Holistic Recovery and Risk Reduction: Connecting Relocation Implementation Decision Making to Outcomes at Relocation Sites

This research investigates how relocation decision makers prioritize risk reduction in order to identify means of advocating and strengthening holistic risk reduction, a process inclusive of lessening vulnerability and cultivating resilience alongside geographic displacement.Read more »

Construction Capacity: Regional Construction Supply Chains and Disruptions

This research seeks to measure the capacity of the U.S. construction industry, to improve how construction organizations coordinate labor and material resources in the wake of disruptive events.Read more »
Timber house under construction showing truss

Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure Systems: Post-Disaster Reconstruction Processes and Stakeholder Networks

This research (1) identified key factors influencing inter-organizational coordination in post-disaster contexts; (2) identified types of household participation that arise in shelter projects and analyzed their impact on project outcomes; (3) identified methods of construction training used in shelter projects and their impact on household knowledge acquisition; and (4) analyzed combinations of coordination, participation, and training across the planning, design, and construction phases of shelter projects that led to infrastructure resilience and sustainability, in isolation and combination.Read more »
