Public libraries provide rural citizens with critical information, services, and support to withstand adversity. Numerous local, state, and federal agencies use public libraries as aid distribution points, volunteer reception centers, shelters, and temporary office spaces. While disaster resilience research has focused primarily on urban settings, rural environments have different, understudied, characteristics. The considerable geographical variability in rural areas has also made the “resilience divide” apparent in natural disasters’ aftermath, such as 2018’s Hurricane Michael. As such, the goal of this project is to study and develop emergency plans that fit distinct needs of rural communities, guided by a central hypothesis: Understanding interdependencies among the community actors, population needs, environment, information, and infrastructure that foster emergency operations efficacy in rural communities can lead to the successful strategies and policies for optimizing multi-faceted disaster response. To address the resilience divide, this project will explore three research questions: (1) What interactions between community actors, population needs, environment, information, and infrastructure foster disaster resilience in rural communities? Additionally, how do rural stakeholders and residents view public libraries in this system? (2) How can the interdependency and interconnectivity between social, spatial, environmental, and infrastructural factors in community resilience be measured and modeled to reveal the divide in resilience for rural communities? (3) How can this resiliency divide be bridged by using rural libraries as resiliency hubs for natural disaster response? Additionally, what are the policy and infrastructural issues relating to promoting libraries in a disaster resilience system? The questions will be explored via heterogeneous data collection and fusion and by developing multi-network resilience metrics and multivariate prioritized risk maps. The project team will identify the critical issues, challenges, and obstacles to designing resilience hubs in the study region of Calhoun County, Florida, and develop socioeconomic and demographic mathematical metrics to account for infrastructure characteristics, social factors, land use, and other localized conditions. The team will create vulnerability maps using Geographical Information Systems-based tools to identify high-need places in Calhoun County, which will be supported by the library-community outreach to educate residents about available services. Maps will also inform spatial optimization models for mobile emergency response library hub locations. This project’s findings, community engagement methods, and practice-based solutions may be scalable to other disaster-prone, rural regions. This project is in response to the Civic Innovation Challenge program, Track B—Resilience to Natural Disasters—and is a collaboration between NSF and the Department of Homeland Security.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

公共图书馆为农村公民提供关键信息，服务和支持以承受广告。许多地方，州和联邦机构都使用公共图书馆作为援助分配点，志愿者接待中心，庇护所和临时办公空间。尽管灾难弹性研究主要集中在城市环境上，但农村环境具有不同的特征。农村地区的大量地理变异性也使“弹性鸿沟”出现在自然灾害的后果中，例如2018年的飓风迈克尔。因此，该项目的目的是在基于中心假设的指导下研究和开发应急计划，这些计划适合农村社区的不同需求：了解社区参与者之间的相互依存关系，人口需求，环境，信息，信息和基础设施，从而促进农村社区的紧急行动效率，可以导致成功的策略和政策，以优化成对的遇到的灾难灾难响应。为了解决弹性鸿沟，该项目将探讨三个研究问题：（1）社区参与者，人口需求，环境，信息和基础设施之间的哪些相互作用促进农村社区的灾难恢复能力？此外，粗糙的利益相关者和居民如何在此系统中查看公共图书馆？ （2）如何测量和建模社区韧性和建模的社会，空间，环境和基础设施因素之间的相互依存和相互联系，以揭示农村社区的韧性分歧？ （3）如何通过使用农村图书馆作为自然灾害响应的弹性枢纽来弥合这种弹性鸿沟？此外，与促进灾难弹性系统中促进图书馆有关的政策和基础设施问题是什么？这些问题将通过异质数据收集和融合来探讨，并通过开发多项式弹性指标和多元优先风险图。项目团队将确定在佛罗里达州卡尔洪县设计弹性中心的关键问题，挑战和障碍，并开发社会经济和人口统计学的数学指标，以说明基础设施特征，社会因素，土地使用和其他本地化条件。该团队将使用基于地理信息系统的工具来创建脆弱性地图，以识别卡尔霍恩县的高需求场所，该工具将得到图书馆社区的宣传支持，以教育居民有关可用服务的教育。地图还将为移动紧急响应库中心位置的空间优化模型提供信息。该项目的发现，社区参与方法和基于实践的解决方案可能可扩展到其他容易发生灾难的地区。该项目是针对公民创新挑战计划，轨道B（对自然灾害的弥补），是NSF与国土安全部之间的合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准通过评估来获得的支持。
