Michel Bruneau,Stephanie E. Chang,Ronald T. Eguchi,George C. Lee,Thomas D. O'Rourke,Andrei M. Reinhorn,Masanobu Shinozuka,Kathleen J. Tierney,William A. Wallace,Detlof von Winterfeldt +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a conceptual framework to define seismic resilience of communities and quantitative measures of resilience that can be useful for a coordinated research effort focusing on enhancing this resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Improvements in the Disaster Resilience of Communities
TL;DR: Resilience measures that relate expected losses in future disasters to a community's seismic performance objectives are proposed and demonstrated in a case study of the Memphis, Tennessee, water delivery system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fostering resilience to extreme events within infrastructure systems: Characterizing decision contexts for mitigation and adaptation
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for understanding the factors that influence the resilience of infrastructure systems in terms of robustness and rapidity is developed, and common decision contexts arise across many different infrastructure contexts when considering ways to make infrastructure systems more resilient.
Journal ArticleDOI
HAZUS-MH Flood Loss Estimation Methodology. II. Damage and Loss Assessment
Charles Scawthorn,Paul J. Flores,Neil C. Blais,Hope A. Seligson,Eric Tate,Stephanie E. Chang,Edward Mifflin,Will Thomas,James M. Murphy,Chris D. Jones,Michael A. Lawrence +10 more
TL;DR: The Flood Information Tool as discussed by the authors allows rapid analysis of a wide variety of stream discharge data and topographic mapping to determine flood-frequencies over entire floodplains, and provides a library of more than 900 damage curves for use in estimating damage to various types of buildings and infrastructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban disaster recovery: a measurement framework and its application to the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
TL;DR: This paper provides a framework for assessing empirical patterns of urban disaster recovery through the use of statistical indicators and indicates that while aggregate population regained pre-disaster levels in ten years, population had shifted away from the older urban core.
