AbstractThis RAPID grant funds the collection of data on housing recovery following the September 2013 flash floods in Colorado. The research results will inform better local, state, and federal disaster management policies and programs aimed at community recovery. The floods were the costliest disaster in Colorado state history, destroying more than 1,500 homes and triggering over $2 billion in economic loss. Low and moderately priced housing was particularly hard-hit, with hundreds of affordable units destroyed. Communities are struggling with decisions about where, when, and if to rebuild housing, while displaced residents are unable to return home because of the loss of affordable housing options. The investigators will collect detailed data on household and community decision-making at this crucial time of the disaster, in order to better understand the issues and challenges facing communities who have lost significant portions of their affordable housing stock. The fate of affordable housing is central to the character of long-term disaster recovery, however, existing research is unclear on the full range of variables that influence decisions about the reconstruction or replacement of affordable housing post-disaster. To identify these variables and understand how they affect recovery efforts, the research team will collect, analyze and disseminate data on housing recovery in three Colorado communities impacted by the 2013 flash floods. The project team will collect data in two distinct waves. Wave "I" will be a baseline survey of 100-120 households living in affordable housing prior to the disaster. Based on their analysis of the results of this baseline survey, the team will then recruit a sub-sample of respondents to take part in an in-depth interview for Wave "II" of the study. These interviews will allow for a richer understanding of the processes of displacement and how household losses complicate and disrupt daily living and, eventually, longer term recovery. To supplement the household survey and interviews, the team will interview key informants from local, state, and federal government and civil society. The study will provide much-needed insights into the dynamic nature of disaster recovery decision making at the individual and community scale, and will advance our scientific understanding of long-term disaster recovery.

摘要这一快速赠款为2013年9月在科罗拉多州的山洪暴发之后提供了有关住房回收的数据的收集。研究结果将为旨在社区恢复的更好的本地，州和联邦灾难管理政策和计划提供信息。洪水是科罗拉多州历史上最昂贵的灾难，摧毁了1,500多家房屋，并触发了超过20亿美元的经济损失。价格低下，价格适中的住房尤其严重，数百个负担得起的单位被摧毁。社区正在努力解决有关在哪里，何时和是否重建住房的决定，而流离失所的居民由于失去了负担得起的住房选择而无法返回家乡。调查人员将在灾难的这一关键时期收集有关家庭和社区决策的详细数据，以便更好地了解失去了负担得起的住房股票的社区所面临的问题和挑战。 经济适用房的命运对于长期灾难恢复的特征至关重要，但是，现有的研究尚不清楚，这些变量的全部变量范围会影响有关重建或替代负担得起的住房后疾病的决策。为了确定这些变量并了解它们如何影响恢复工作，研究团队将收集，分析和传播有关2013年山洪洪水影响的三个科罗拉多社区住房恢复的数据。项目团队将以两种不同的浪潮收集数据。 Wave“ I”将是对灾难前住在经济适用房中的100-120户家庭的基线调查。基于他们对本基线调查结果的分析，该团队将招募一个受访者的子样本，参加研究的深入访谈。这些访谈将使人们对流离失所的过程以及家庭损失如何复杂和破坏日常生活以及最终长期恢复的方式有更丰富的了解。为了补充家庭调查和访谈，团队将采访来自地方，州和联邦政府和民间社会的主要线人。这项研究将为个人和社区规模提供急需的见解，并向我们对长期灾难恢复的科学理解。
