This Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) project collects ephemeral data to better understand the compounding impacts of Maui wildfires and Hurricane Dora and reveal the differences between residents and tourists in their behavioral responses as affected by infrastructure failures. It examines the sources of warning information, protective action decision-making, and evacuation logistics at the individual level. In the meantime, the project captures the operation states of disaster warning operations in Maui under the loss of cell and electric power services. Failures at each system are documented, as well as the cascading effect among inter-connected infrastructure systems. The research outcomes expand the existing body of scientific knowledge on warning and evacuation while advancing the understanding of informal networks and decision-making in the absence of official guidance. The hurricane-fueled fast-moving Maui wildfire offers a unique research opportunity to explore the intricacies of decision-making in the absence of official warnings. This event has three unique characteristics. First, Maui has a large percentage of tourists who may exhibit different patterns in warning reception, protective action decision-making, and evacuation logistics. Second, none of the 80 warning sirens placed around the island were activated in response to the wildfire threat. Its absence, coupled with the loss of cell phone and power services, severely limited access to timely official warnings. Third, the cascading failures of critical infrastructure systems highlighted the interdependencies among them and the devastating consequences. This project collects and analyzes multi-dimensional data on heterogeneous behavioral responses by residents and tourists with varying degrees of warning information, as well as the ways in which these responses were affected by critical infrastructure failures (i.e., damages/disruptions to transportation, power, and communication network interoperability). The rich datasets not only bolster future digital twin-empowered applications but also contribute to the enhancement of emergency management in cyber and physical domains. In addition, the project engages and trains multiple Native Hawaiian students in data collection and analysis.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.

这项授予快速响应研究（快速）项目收集了短暂的数据，以更好地了解毛伊野火和摩尔飓风的复合影响，并揭示了居民和游客之间在其行为反应中受到基础设施故障影响的差异。它检查了在个人一级的警告信息，保护行动决策和疏散后勤的来源。同时，该项目捕获了毛伊岛灾难警告操作的行动，但损失了电池和电力服务。记录了每个系统的故障，以及相互连接的基础架构系统之间的级联效应。研究结果扩大了有关警告和疏散的科学知识的现有体系，同时在没有官方指导的情况下推进对非正式网络和决策的理解。在没有官方警告的情况下，飓风燃烧的快速发展的毛伊岛野火为探索决策的复杂性提供了独特的研究机会。该事件具有三个独特的特征。首先，毛伊岛有很大一部分游客，他们可能在警告接待，保护行动决策和疏散后勤方面表现出不同的模式。其次，在野火威胁的响应中，没有在岛上放置的80个警报器被激活。它的缺席，再加上手机和电力服务的丢失，严重限制了及时的官方警告。第三，关键基础设施系统的级联故障突出了它们之间的相互依赖性以及毁灭性的后果。该项目收集并分析了具有不同程度的警告信息的居民和游客的多维行为反应的多维数据，以及这些响应受到关键基础设施故障（即对运输，电力，电力和通信网络互操作性的损害/损害/破坏）影响这些响应的方式）。丰富的数据集不仅可以增强未来的数字双胞胎授权应用程序，而且还有助于增强网络和物理域中的紧急管理。此外，该项目参与并培训了多个夏威夷本地学生进行数据收集和分析。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
