Disaster resilience research is concerned with learning how people prepare for and deal with damage to their communities because of events such as floods, fires, pandemics, and other existential threats. The concepts of risk, vulnerability and sustainability are very important because of the impact they have on individuals’ lives and well-being. However, advancing science-based resilience research is hard because the data that are used to measure disaster resilience come from many different sources and are difficult to merge. Even for available data there are few tools available to analyze them, especially for researchers who do not have extensive quantitative training. This project overcomes these difficulties by developing a national cyberinfrastructure called the Human Dynamics and Resilience infrastructure that contains large-scale data and analytic tools to support and advance human dynamics and resilience research. Knowledge gained from visualizing and analyzing the data using the infrastructure can better inform policies to increase community resilience. The project accomplishes four objectives. First, it develops four new databases containing integrated data from around the nation, including social media and cell-phone mobility data. Second, it constructs visualization and analytical tools, such as maps, statistics, and dynamic modeling and simulations to facilitate both exploratory and in-depth research. Third, it implements a training and feedback module to help engage researchers, practitioners, and the public to explore and conduct analyses that should lead to a better understanding of resilience. Finally, it includes three case studies that demonstrate how the infrastructure can lead to new knowledge about the relationship between human mobility and resilience. The project is a collaboration of multidisciplinary investigators from four universities, including Louisiana State University, University of South Florida, Texas A&M University, and Saint Louis University. This project is jointly funded by the Human Networks and Data Science -- Infrastructure and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) programs.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.

灾难弹性研究与学习人们如何为社区做准备和处理损害，因为地板，火灾，大流行和其他现有威胁等事件。风险，脆弱性和可持续性的概念非常重要，因为它们对个人的生活和福祉产生了影响。但是，促进基于科学的弹性研究很难，因为用于衡量灾难弹性的数据来​​自许多不同的来源，很难合并。即使对于可用的数据，也很少有工具可以分析它们，尤其是对于没有大量定量培训的研究人员。该项目通过开发一种称为人类动态和弹性基础设施的国家网络基础结构来克服这些困难，该基础设施包含大规模数据和分析工具，以支持和推动人类的动态和弹性研究。通过使用基础架构可视化和分析数据而获得的知识可以更好地告知政策以提高社区的韧性。该项目实现了四个目标。首先，它开发了四个新数据库，其中包含来自全国各地的集成数据，包括社交媒体和手机流动性数据。其次，它构建可视化和分析工具，例如地图，统计数据以及动态建模和模拟，以促进探索性和深入研究。第三，它实现了培训和反馈模块，以帮助吸引研究人员，从业人员和公众探索和进行分析，从而可以更好地了解弹性。最后，它包括三个案例研究，这些案例研究表明基础设施如何导致有关人类流动性和弹性之间关系的新知识。该项目是来自四所大学的多学科研究人员的合作，包括路易斯安那州立大学，南佛罗里达大学，得克萨斯州农工大学和圣路易斯大学。该项目由人类网络和数据科学共同资助 - 基础架构和刺激竞争研究计划（EPSCOR）计划的既定计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来获得的支持。
