This Civic Innovation Challenge (CIVIC) research has a focus of developing a community-centric, hybrid modeling approach for coastal flooding mitigation planning. Combining state-of-the-art, high-resolution flood modeling with community engagement, the development of optimal mitigation strategies that are informed by the needs of the community, as they define them, will be enabled. By expanding the scope of the factors considered in the modeling process, its realism will be improved, enhancing the planning capacity of, and the buy-in from, the local community. In close collaboration with a Long Island, New York coastal community and the Suffolk County planning department, community stakeholders will be engaged in collecting and generating data on key socio-economic characteristics and behavioral propensities of the community. Employing a suite of social scientific techniques, these data will be used to predict the social and behavioral responses to extreme flooding events and potential policy interventions. The predicted responses will be fed back into the model to enable a more holistic assessment of the mitigation strategies. The project will provide residents, policymakers, and other stakeholders with powerful new tools to both better assess the impact of future extreme events and determine the optimal adaptation and mitigation strategies. This inclusive modeling approach can be applied to other communities, tailoring optimal engineering solutions to their needs and as a result, enhancing the equity and effectiveness of engineering solutions and municipal planning for flood mitigation and adaptation.The novelty of this project is its community-centric simulation-based approach for assessing risks to infrastructure, properties, and local businesses on coastal flood plains due to extreme weather events. Specifically, this project will develop a physics-informed community-scale high-fidelity computer model for quantitative assessment of these risks and will implement mitigation strategies informed by the model that have been co-produced with the local community, considering the implications for local businesses. In addition to traditional inundation-depth information, the project will enhance the current flood prediction capabilities by including other flood-related factors such as erosion and damage to infrastructure. The robust process of engaging with the local community and decision makers, used to refine and parameterize the model to better address the needs of the community and consider their behavioral responses, will help further the goals of environmental justice and socioeconomic equity. Such an approach is unique and innovative. It has the potential to save substantial costs while improving the quality of life for the ~40 percent of the nation’s total population who live in coastal counties.This project is in response to the Civic Innovation Challenge program—Track A. Living in a changing climate: pre-disaster action around adaptation, resilience, and mitigation—and is a collaboration between NSF, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Energy.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.

这项公民创新挑战（CIVIC）研究的重点是开发一种以社区为中心的混合建模方法，用于沿海洪水缓解规划。将最先进的高分辨率洪水建模与社区参与相结合，根据社区的需求制定最佳缓解策略，因为他们定义了这些策略。通过扩大建模过程中考虑的因素范围，将提高其现实性，增强当地社区的规划能力和接受程度。社区利益攸关方将与长岛、纽约沿海社区和萨福克县规划部门密切合作，收集和生成有关社区主要社会经济特征和行为倾向的数据。采用一套社会科学技术，这些数据将用于预测极端洪水事件和潜在政策干预的社会和行为反应。预测的反应将反馈到模型中，以便对缓解战略进行更全面的评估。该项目将为居民、政策制定者和其他利益相关者提供强大的新工具，以更好地评估未来极端事件的影响，并确定最佳的适应和减缓战略。这种包容性的建模方法可以应用于其他社区，根据他们的需求定制最佳的工程解决方案，从而提高工程解决方案和城市规划的公平性和有效性，以减轻洪水和适应。该项目的新奇在于其以社区为中心的基于模拟的方法，用于评估极端天气事件对沿海洪泛平原上的基础设施，财产和当地企业的风险。具体而言，该项目将开发一个以物理学为基础的社区规模高保真计算机模型，用于对这些风险进行定量评估，并将实施与当地社区共同制作的模型所提供的缓解战略，同时考虑到对当地企业的影响。除了传统的淹没深度信息外，该项目还将通过纳入基础设施侵蚀和损坏等其他与洪水有关的因素，提高目前的洪水预测能力。与当地社区和决策者互动协作的强有力过程，用于完善和参数化模型，以更好地满足社区的需求并考虑他们的行为反应，将有助于进一步实现环境正义和社会经济公平的目标。这种方法是独特和创新的。它有可能节省大量的成本，同时提高生活在沿海县的全国总人口的约40%的生活质量。生活在不断变化的气候中：该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
