Community resilience planning tools are needed to assess the increasing number of natural hazards (flooding, fire, earthquake, pandemic, etc.) across interdependent infrastructure (transportation, water, electric power, etc.) experienced by vulnerable populations. This session seeks to highlight best practices identified by community resilience researchers studying the cascading impacts of environmental injustices. The symposium will share tools researchers use to quantify resilience metrics as well as develop multiple design alternatives. Examples of flexible multi-scale and multi-level resilient frameworks at the community scale will be provided. Assessment is measured in terms of binary (impact/not impacted), degree of impact, and solution generation. This highly collaborative workshop welcomes submissions at the intersection of engineering, social science, economics, environmental justice, and resilience.
