Investigating the Impacts of Economic Factors on Recovery to Further Develop Hurricane Resilience Model for Residential Homes

Publication: ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A: Civil Engineering
Volume 8, Issue 2

Abstract

Coastal resilience, risk analysis, disaster recovery, and hazard mitigation are all vital concepts to the functioning of coastal regions. This research aimed to adapt the most recent recovery and resilience functions developed for residential homes by considering measurable factors that are known to influence recovery, including available resources and preparedness. The loss function developed for residential homes damaged by hurricanes was adapted to account for multiple hazards. The resilience model developed through this study investigated resiliency of individual residential homes across several communities. The model was validated using the observed damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012 in the study region. The results of this study provide improved hurricane loss, recovery, and resilience functions for more accurate use with individual residential structures. Thus, this research provides an essential, innovative contribution to the quantification of infrastructure resilience at the residential level.
