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（IPCC）最新报告所述，气候变化以及日益频繁和严重的灾害可能很快就会超出人类的适应能力。基础设施投资不足和社会边缘化可能会加剧灾害的严重性。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者面临的一个关键挑战。主导框架将一所公立学校改造为俄勒冈州波特兰市社区的试点社区复原中心 (CRH) CRH 是值得信赖的社区主导设施，可在灾难事件发生之前、期间或之后为公民提供支持。该项目将提高社区的自给自足能力，在灾害事件（例如野火、地震、洪水）之前、期间和之后覆盖更多有需要的社区成员，同时还建立与社区和城市领导人共同开发 CRH 网络的价值，并首先响应者。该研究将阐明开发 CRH 网络的策略和逻辑，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，并将发挥重要作用。 NSF CIVIC-PG 项目将采取关键步骤，制定变革性愿景，说明当地 CRH 如何连接起来，利用 CRH 形成社区复原网络 (CRN)我们缺乏对多灾种灾害事件期间发生的破坏的动态特征和应急响应需求的深入了解。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、及时信息共享、弹性连接和跨 CRH 网络的资源分配到这将为建立 CRN 奠定基础，利用更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决策。该项目是 CIVIC 创新挑战赛的一部分，该挑战赛由 NSF、能源部车辆技术办公室、国土安全部科学技术局和联邦紧急事务管理局合作。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
