Extreme heat events are becoming more prevalent and severe in many regions. This project develops plans for a research center to investigate how extreme weather in the Southeast US disproportionately impacts disadvantaged communities. An interdisciplinary research team will examine how to improve public safety and resilience by building collaborations among community-based organizations, industry, and academics to address disaster preparedness, emergency response, technology adoption, and social-behavioral and policy aspects of climate-resilient systems serving urban and rural communities. The project seeks to strengthen infrastructure while serving social justice goals. This project develops research approaches to address critical community needs and solutions to improve crisis management strategies in the context of energy supply systems (e.g., power grid), built environment, transportation systems, and health infrastructures. This project prepares for establishing the Southeast Center for Just, Resilient, and Sustainable Ecosystems (SECURE) to transform scientific knowledge and research products from cross-disciplinary programs for long-lasting benefits to the community through a wide range of stakeholder networks. The goal is to improve climate resilience and impacts through five research pillars: 1) multidimensional community vulnerability frameworks; 2) needs assessments to understand barriers to climate mitigation; 3) resilience and sustainability of interdependent energy, transportation, health, and building infrastructure; 4) community engagement to co-design solutions on climate preparation; and 5) workforce development opportunities for individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. The resulting knowledge-to-action and socio-technological integration frameworks impact interdisciplinary fields and disadvantaged communities, including Indigenous and low-income households, for pre-disaster resilience, adaptation, and mitigation. The workforce development plan includes creation of a diverse and inclusive environment for under-represented populations (i.e., people of color, women, veterans, and low-income residents, among others) and seeks to build a comprehensive talent pipeline and future climate-resilience leaders, especially for underserved communities in the Southeast and similar communities in the nation.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.

在许多地区，极端热量事件变得越来越普遍和严重。该项目制定了研究中心的计划，以调查美国东南部的极端天气如何影响弱势社区。跨学科研究团队将通过建立基于社区的组织，行业和学者之间的合作来研究如何改善公共安全和韧性，以解决为城市和农村社区提供服务的气候空事系统的灾难准备，紧急响应，技术采用以及社会行为和政策方面。该项目旨在加强基础设施，同时为社会正义目标服务。该项目开发了研究方法，以满足关键的社区需求和解决方案，以改善能源供应系统（例如电网），建筑环境，运输系统和健康基础设施的危机管理策略。 该项目为建立东南，弹性和可持续生态系统（安全）建立东南中心，以通过跨学科计划从跨学科计划中转变科学知识和研究产品，从而通过广泛的利益相关者网络为社区提供持久的好处。目的是通过五个研究支柱提高气候弹性并影响：1）多维社区脆弱性框架； 2）需要评估以了解缓解气候的障碍； 3）相互依存能源，运输，健康和建筑基础设施的韧性和可持续性； 4）社区参与有关气候准备的共同设计解决方案； 5）为具有不同背景和经验的个人提供劳动力发展机会。 由此产生的知识对行动和社会技术整合框架影响了跨学科领域和处境不利的社区，包括土著和低收入家庭，以实现前陈层的弹性，适应性和缓解措施。 劳动力发展计划包括创造一个多元化和包容性的环境，以为代表性不足的人口（即有色人种，妇女，退伍军人和低收入居民等）创造，并试图寻求全面的人才和全面的人才和未来的气候弥补领导者，尤其是对国家 /地区的不受欢迎的社区，尤其是在东南部和类似的社区中，这一奖项都在奖励，这是奖项。使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准进行评估。
