This Rapid Response Research (RAPID) project examines life disruption, recovery resources, and displacement with a focus on non-homeowner and immigrant households in Marshalltown, Iowa after an EF-3 Tornado. The damage from this tornado was concentrated in older low-income neighborhoods with many uninsured houses, limited government assistance, and low capacity to provide replacement housing within the community. This research examines recovery needs resulting from social vulnerability especially tenure and immigration. The results will assist planners, emergency managers, and policymakers to incorporate approaches within recovery programs that better communicate assistance eligibility criteria with immigrants. This scientific research contribution thus supports NSF's mission to promote the progress of science and to advance our national welfare. In this case, the benefits will be insights to assist recovery of our most vulnerable populations after a disaster.This research addresses gaps in the disaster literature with respect to low attention disasters that affect immigrants, renters and contract homeowners. Vulnerable households like immigrants and non-homeowners are at a disadvantage for accessing recovery assistance to complete home repairs and subsequently at a higher risk of long-term displacement. This project collects data to examine recovery experiences of immigrants and non-homeowners in the aftermath of the Marshalltown tornado that did not receive much attention and resources despite causing major damages in low income neighborhoods with a relatively higher percentage of minority, immigrant, and non-homeowner households. Hence, it offers a unique possibility for assessing the complex recovery challenges related to housing tenure and immigration after low attention disasters. Methods of data collection consist of conducting focus groups with households, one on one interviews, and participant observation. Analysis methods include qualitative coding of data through theme identification and constant comparison.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.

这项快速响应研究（快速）项目在EF-3龙卷风之后，研究了爱荷华州马歇尔敦的非房屋和移民家庭的生命中断，恢复资源和流离失所。龙卷风造成的损害集中在具有许多未保险房屋的老年低收入社区，政府援助有限以及在社区内提供替代住房的能力较低。这项研究研究了社会脆弱性尤其是任期和移民产生的恢复需求。结果将帮助计划者，应急管理者和政策制定者将方法纳入恢复计划中，以更好地沟通援助资格标准与移民。因此，这项科学研究的贡献支持NSF促进科学进步并促进我们的民族福利的使命。在这种情况下，利益将是帮助灾难发生后最脆弱人群的见解。这项研究解决了影响移民，租房者和合同房主的灾难文献中的差距。诸如移民和非房主之类的脆弱家庭在获得恢复援助方面处于劣势，以完成家庭维修，然后以更高的长期流离失所的风险更高。该项目收集数据，以检查马歇尔敦龙卷风之后的移民和非房主的恢复经验，尽管在低收入社区中造成了相对较高的少数族裔，移民和非房屋家庭的比例较高的低收入社区，但仍未受到关注和资源。因此，它提供了一种独特的可能性，可以评估低注意力灾害后与住房任期和移民有关的复杂恢复挑战。数据收集方法包括与家庭进行焦点小组，一对一的访谈和参与者的观察。分析方法包括通过主题识别对数据进行定性编码和持续比较。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，被认为值得通过评估来支持。
