As the most recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report describes, climate change and the growing frequency and severity of disasters could soon outpace humanity's capacity to adapt. The severity of a disaster can be amplified by inadequate infrastructure investment, social marginalization, and a reduced capacity to adapt when a vulnerable community is impacted. Strengthening vulnerable communities’ resilience and capacity to adapt is, therefore, a key challenge for emergency managers and community leaders. In this NSF CIVIC-PG project, we develop a community-led framework for adapting a public school to become a pilot Community Resilience Hub (CRH) for a community in the city of Portland, OR. CRHs are trusted, community-led facilities to support citizens before, during, or after a disaster event. This research and demonstration project will improve community self-sufficiency reaching more community members in need before, during and after a disaster event (e.g., wildfire, earthquake, flood) while also establishing the value of developing a network of CRHs in conjunction with community and city leaders and first responders. The research will elucidate strategies and logic for development of a network of CRHs that can be replicated in other communities across the United States. The findings of this project will be disseminated through collaboration with a NIST-sponsored Global City Teams Challenge SuperCluster and will be instrumental to the future development of CRHs.This NSF CIVIC-PG project will take critical steps toward developing a transformative vision of how local CRHs can connect to form a Community Resilience Network (CRN) leveraging the CRH sociotechnical infrastructure framework and serving communities across a larger geographic area during a disaster event. We lack an in-depth understanding of the dynamic characteristics of disruptions and the emergency response needs that evolve during a multi-hazard disaster event. The project’s primary goal is to investigate how “digital twin” technology can facilitate establishment of community-led CRH sociotechnical infrastructure that integrates evolving community needs, resources, and conditions to facilitate emergency response, timely information-sharing, resilient connectivity, and resource distribution across a network of CRHs in response to disaster events. This will lay the foundation for establishment of a CRN that leverages updated city management and community-led strategies to expand CRH resource resilience capacity, distributed disaster response (across vulnerable communities and CRHs), and data-driven decision-making on disaster response. This project is part of the CIVIC Innovation Challenge which is a collaboration of NSF, the Department of Energy's Vehicle Technology Office, and the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate and Federal Emergency Management Agency.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.

正如联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会（气候专委会）最近的报告所述，气候变化以及灾害日益频繁和严重，很快就会超过人类的适应能力。基础设施投资不足、社会边缘化以及脆弱社区受到影响时适应能力下降，都可能加剧灾害的严重性。因此，加强脆弱社区的复原力和适应能力是应急管理人员和社区领导人面临的一个关键挑战。在这个NSF CIVIC-PG项目中，我们开发了一个社区主导的框架，用于调整公立学校，使其成为波特兰市社区的试点社区弹性中心（CRH）。CRH是值得信赖的，社区主导的设施，在灾害事件发生之前，期间或之后为公民提供支持。这一研究和示范项目将提高社区的自给自足能力，在灾害发生之前、期间和之后帮助更多有需要的社区成员（例如，野火，地震，洪水），同时还建立了与社区和城市领导人以及第一反应者一起开发CRHS网络的价值。这项研究将阐明CRH网络发展的战略和逻辑，该网络可以在美国其他社区复制。该项目的研究结果将通过与NIST赞助的全球城市团队挑战超级集群的合作进行传播，并将有助于CRHs的未来发展。NSF CIVIC-PG项目将采取关键步骤，以制定当地CRHs如何连接以形成社区弹性网络（CRN）的变革性愿景。利用CRH社会技术基础设施框架，在灾害事件期间为更大地理区域的社区提供服务。我们缺乏对破坏的动态特征以及在多危害灾害事件期间不断演变的应急需求的深入了解。该项目的主要目标是研究“数字孪生”技术如何促进建立社区主导的CRH社会技术基础设施，整合不断变化的社区需求，资源和条件，以促进应急响应，及时的信息共享，弹性连接以及CRH网络中的资源分配，以应对灾害事件。这将为建立CRN奠定基础，该CRN利用最新的城市管理和社区主导的战略来扩大CRH资源恢复能力，分布式灾害响应（跨脆弱社区和CRH）以及数据驱动的灾害响应决策。该项目是CIVIC创新挑战赛的一部分，该挑战赛是NSF、能源部车辆技术办公室、国土安全部科学技术局和联邦应急管理局的合作项目。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。
