Community resilience is the ability of communities to withstand and mitigate the stress of a disaster and is a key component of long-term recovery from natural disasters such as floods. Community resilience requires effective pre-disaster planning and coordination of the complex network of actors involved in disaster response. Every county in West Virginia (WV) has a high risk of flooding and these risks are compounded by increasing frequency and intensity of precipitation, aging infrastructure, and high levels of socioeconomic vulnerability. This project is a collaboration between academic researchers and civic actors and will identify lessons learned during response and recovery efforts to a major flood in 2016 in WV. This flood devastated several small towns, killed 23 people, and caused over $1 billion in damage across the state. In 2022, some communities still have not made a full recovery and lessons from the 2016 event have yet to be clearly identified or incorporated into local or statewide planning. Project findings from this Civic Innovation Challenge (CIVIC) project will be reported back to communities and policymakers to be used in future planning efforts, as well as to procure funding to increase resilience. The team will build on insights from the planning grant to develop a Stage 2 project to create the West Virginia Flood Resilience Framework (WVFRF), which will be a comprehensive online toolkit to empower communities with the knowledge they need for coordination and capacity building to prepare for future floods, which will have broad application to flood-prone communities across the US.The goals of this project are to determine the gaps in organizational capacity, cross-organization coordination, and flood risk knowledge that need to be filled for more comprehensive flood response and long-term flood recovery in WV. The team will integrate findings from a county-wide survey, Participatory GIS (PGIS), and focus groups in two case study sites with different levels of socioeconomic vulnerability that impacted success of long-term recovery to provide a comprehensive understanding of gaps in flood response and recovery. As a result of a novel integration of quantitative, qualitative, and PGIS methods, the project will have insights for scholarship on building resilience to natural disaster in socioeconomically vulnerable communities while also presenting a unique transdisciplinary model for community-engaged research that centers co-production of knowledge and creates a comprehensive approach to disaster response and recovery.This project is in response to the Civic Innovation Challenge program—Track B. Bridging the gap between essential resources and services & community needs—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.

社区的韧性是社区承受和减轻灾难压力的能力，并且是从地板等自然灾害中长期恢复的关键组成部分。社区的弹性需要有效的策略前计划和协调涉及灾难响应的复杂参与者网络。西弗吉尼亚州（WV）的每项计数都有洪水泛滥的高风险，这些风险的频率和强度增加，衰老基础设施和高水平的社会经济脆弱性使这些风险更加复杂。该项目是学术研究人员和公民参与者之间的合作，将确定在2016年在WV中对重大洪水的回应和恢复工作期间汲取的经验教训。这场洪水摧毁了几个小镇，炸死了23人，全州造成了超过10亿美元的损失。在2022年，一些社区仍未完全康复，2016年活动的课程尚未清楚地识别或纳入本地或全州规划。这项公民创新挑战（CIVIC）项目的项目发现将报告给社区和政策制定者，以在未来的计划工作中使用，并采购资金以提高弹性。团队将基于计划赠款的见解，开发一个阶段2项目，以创建西弗吉尼亚州的洪水复原力框架（WVFRF），这将是一个全面的在线工具包，以使社区能力拥有他们所需的协调能力和能力建设以为未来楼层做好准备的知识，这将在整个项目中跨越洪水范围，并确定范围的洪水范围，以确定造成洪水的范围。在WV中填补以更全面的洪水反应和长期洪水恢复。该团队将在两个案例研究地点的县范围调查，参与性GIS（PGI）和焦点小组中整合发现，具有不同水平的社会经济脆弱性，这影响了长期恢复的成功，以提供对洪水反应和恢复中差距的全面了解。由于定量，定性和PGIS方法的新型整合，该项目将对在社会经济脆弱的社区中建立对自然灾害的抗辩能力的科学有见解，同时还为社区助长的研究呈现独特的跨学科模型，以使知识的共同挑战和恢复性质疑。基本的资源，服务和社区需求 - 这是NSF，国土安全部和能源部之间的合作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
