In coastal communities across the United States, environmental disasters such as flooding, hurricanes, and heatwaves have become increasingly common and costly, both in terms of human and economic impacts. The coronavirus pandemic is exacerbating these impacts and bringing inequalities to the fore. This project proposes to study the compounded effects of social and physical vulnerabilities to environmental disasters in Savannah, Georgia, as well as the local policies and practices that promote resilience and recovery. The proposed approach prioritizes social equity and justice by including residents and representatives of Hudson Hill, a lower-income black neighborhood in Savannah, as research partners. Together, the project will identify and co-create new sources of data on disaster vulnerability and resilience and foster broader stakeholder networks within the region. The team also includes researchers from Georgia Tech and Savannah State as well as officials from the City of Savannah Office of Sustainability and the Harambee House, an environmental justice organization. New forms of community-based data exploration, integration, and mapping are necessary to understand the impacts of compounded environmental disasters faced by residents of Savannah, Georgia, particularly marginalized communities. The project will use these new tools to identify what vulnerability and resilience mean in this context, and then reimagine the resilience networks that these communities need to bounce forward from future disasters. The plan of work includes: 1) socially distanced workshops with communities and organizations; 2) preliminary data collection and archival research on resilience and vulnerability in the area; 3) the development of community-level research protections that bring social justice to data stewardship; 4) the of design community-centered but socially distanced data exploration and mapping techniques; and 5) collaborative grant-writing for the full project proposal. The intellectual merit of the project is to improve our understanding of disaster resilience in marginalized coastal communities and to establish new community-centered methods of data exploration and mapping that prioritize data justice. The following broader impacts are anticipated: 1) to highlight and strengthen existing strategies of disaster resilience in marginalized coastal communities; 2) to model how university partnerships might prioritize social equity and justice as they co-create data and put them into action; 3) to chart and establish a resilience network that can leverage data as planning tools for collective recovery and regeneration; and 4) to model new forms of inclusive and equitable community engaged research under social distancing conditions of COVID-19.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.

在美国沿海社区，洪水、飓风和热浪等环境灾害变得越来越普遍，而且造成的损失也越来越大，无论是对人类还是对经济的影响都是如此。冠状病毒大流行加剧了这些影响，并使不平等现象凸显出来。该项目拟研究佐治亚州萨凡纳环境灾害的社会和自然脆弱性的复合影响，以及促进复原力和恢复的当地政策和做法。拟议的方法优先考虑社会公平和正义，将萨凡纳低收入黑人社区哈德逊山的居民和代表作为研究伙伴。该项目将共同确定并共同创建有关灾害脆弱性和复原力的新数据源，并在该地区建立更广泛的利益相关者网络。该团队还包括来自佐治亚理工学院和萨凡纳州立大学的研究人员，以及萨凡纳市可持续发展办公室和环境正义组织 Harambee House 的官员。为了了解佐治亚州萨凡纳居民，特别是边缘化社区所面临的复合环境灾害的影响，需要新形式的基于社区的数据探索、整合和绘图。该项目将使用这些新工具来确定脆弱性和复原力在这种情况下的含义，然后重新构想这些社区从未来灾难中恢复所需的复原力网络。工作计划包括：1）与社区和组织举办保持社交距离的研讨会； 2）该地区恢复力和脆弱性的初步数据收集和档案研究； 3) 制定社区级研究保护措施，为数据管理带来社会正义； 4）以社区为中心但保持社交距离的设计数据探索和绘图技术； 5) 为完整的项目提案提供协作资助。该项目的智力价值是提高我们对边缘化沿海社区抗灾能力的理解，并建立以社区为中心的新数据探索和绘图方法，优先考虑数据正义。预计将产生以下更广泛的影响：1）强调和加强边缘化沿海社区现有的抗灾战略； 2）模拟大学合作伙伴在共同创建数据并将其付诸行动时如何优先考虑社会公平和正义； 3）绘制并建立一个弹性网络，可以利用数据作为集体恢复和再生的规划工具； 4) 在 COVID-19 的社交距离条件下，建立包容性和公平的社区参与研究的新形式。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
