Communities are interested in becoming more resilient to weather extremes but often lack the tools and resources to fully understand the problems and make good decisions. This lack of understanding is understandable given the complex and interrelated nature of the impacts from extreme events. Communities need to design solutions for infrastructure management, land use planning, public health, and emergency management, understanding how each is related to the other. In areas that are subject to repeated events, the problem is exacerbated. In this project, an interdisciplinary team of researchers will develop an integrated model, the Integrated Hazard, Impact, and Resilience Model to better understand the impacts of repeated hurricanes and heat waves on regional vulnerability and resilience and use the model to develop approaches for improving resilience to these repeated hazards. The team integrates expertise in individual and organizational behavior, economic modeling, climate science, infrastructure engineering, hazard modeling, public health, and spatial landscape analysis. The work on this project will be grounded in and integrated through systems modeling. The goal of the project is to significantly advance the understanding of the impacts from hurricanes and heat waves on the vulnerability and resilience of regions over time and the tools and resources available to help regions better prevent repeated hazards from becoming repeated disasters.The mid-Atlantic region will be the case study for this project, grounding the work in a critical region of the U.S., one that has a growing population facing increasing threats from weather extremes. The team will also have strong international collaborators, helping to make sure the work has broad applicability to other areas of the world. As part of this project, a set of undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students as well as postdoctoral scholars will be trained in trans-disciplinary hazards research and modeling. This cadre of students and researchers will form a critical resource for the nation, helping to improve regional resilience to repeated hurricanes and heat waves.

社区希望增强对极端天气的抵御能力，但往往缺乏工具和资源来充分了解问题并做出正确的决策。鉴于极端事件影响的复杂性和相互关联性，这种缺乏理解是可以理解的。社区需要设计基础设施管理、土地使用规划、公共卫生和应急管理的解决方案，并了解彼此之间的关系。在事件反复发生的地区，问题更加严重。在该项目中，一个跨学科的研究团队将开发一个综合模型，即综合灾害、影响和复原力模型，以更好地了解反复发生的飓风和热浪对区域脆弱性和复原力的影响，并利用该模型开发提高复原力的方法这些反复发生的危险。该团队整合了个人和组织行为、经济模型、气候科学、基础设施工程、灾害模型、公共卫生和空间景观分析方面的专业知识。该项目的工作将基于系统建模并通过系统建模进行集成。该项目的目标是显着加深对飓风和热浪对地区脆弱性和恢复力的影响的了解，以及可用于帮助地区更好地防止重复灾害演变成重复灾害的可用工具和资源。 大西洋中部该地区将成为该项目的案例研究，该工作以美国的一个关键地区为基础，该地区的人口不断增长，面临着日益严重的极端天气威胁。该团队还将拥有强大的国际合作者，帮助确保这项工作在世界其他地区具有广泛的适用性。作为该项目的一部分，一批本科生、硕士生、博士生以及博士后学者将接受跨学科危害研究和建模的培训。这支学生和研究人员队伍将成为国家的重要资源，帮助提高地区抵御反复飓风和热浪的能力。
