The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a ubiquitous structural integrity and resilience index to provide a transparent mechanism to objectively assess the risks posed by weather- and climate-driven hazards under current and future scenarios. This product seeks to increase resilience as property values, mortgage, and insurance rates more accurately account for associated risks and meaningfully signal trends to diverse stakeholders (e.g., homeowners, prospective buyers, property developers, lending agencies, insurers, and reinsurers). The technology may create an informed community and enable state planning agencies to identify high-risk areas and address the potential need for disaster assistance and/or strengthened building codes. Homeowners may have opportunities to enhance their building's resilience through actionable information. The cyberinfrastructure that will be developed for this project may result in sustained economic growth and improved social well-being by increasing equity in disaster risk management.This I-Corps project is based on the development of a unidimensional structural integrity and resilience index for adaptation to climate change and extreme events and promotion of resilience in the built infrastructure. This technology seeks to promote the status, sustainability, and security of vulnerable communities in a decentralized fashion. The primary goal of the project is to create a framework for a unidimensional score for residential buildings. This scoring system will be accomplished by integrating four data sets: 1) building characteristics, 2) environmental and climate risk characteristics, 3) past and future hazard characteristics, and 4) social vulnerability characteristics. Using multimodal data fusion tools and techniques including artificial intelligence and machine learning, the technology seeks to integrate a wide range of complex multidimensional characteristics into a unidimensional score to be utilized by the public, diverse business entities, and government agencies to help coordinate the development of more resilient communities.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.

该 I-Corps 项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发普遍存在的结构完整性和复原力指数，以提供透明的机制来客观评估当前和未来情景下天气和气候驱动的灾害所带来的风险。该产品旨在提高财产价值、抵押贷款和保险费率的弹性，更准确地考虑相关风险，并向不同利益相关者（例如房主、潜在买家、房地产开发商、贷款机构、保险公司和再保险公司）发出有意义的趋势信号。该技术可以创建一个知情的社区，并使国家规划机构能够识别高风险区域并解决灾难援助和/或加强建筑规范的潜在需求。房主可能有机会通过可操作的信息来增强建筑物的弹性。为该项目开发的网络基础设施可能会通过增加灾害风险管理的公平性来实现持续的经济增长并改善社会福祉。该 I-Corps 项目基于开发一维结构完整性和复原力指数，以适应气候变化和极端事件以及提高已建基础设施的复原力。该技术旨在以去中心化的方式提升弱势社区的地位、可持续性和安全。 该项目的主要目标是为住宅建筑创建一个单维评分框架。该评分系统将通过整合四个数据集来完成：1）建筑特征，2）环境和气候风险特征，3）过去和未来的灾害特征，以及4）社会脆弱性特征。该技术利用人工智能和机器学习等多模态数据融合工具和技术，旨在将广泛的复杂多维特征整合为一维分数，供公众、不同商业实体和政府机构使用，以帮助协调发展该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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。
