Food Insecurity, Social Vulnerability, and the Impact of COVID-19 on Population Dependent on Public Assistance / SNAP: A Case Study of South Carolina, USA
TL;DR: This article explored the influence of several demographic and socio-economic variables on COVID-19 cases in all 46 counties of South Carolina, USA as of October 18, 2020, using a spatial mapping technique in a geographic information system (GIS) to assess social vulnerabilities of populations dependent on public assistance income.

A supply chain framework for characterizing indirect vulnerability
Charlotte Kendra Z Gotangco,Abigail Marie T. Favis,Ma. Aileen Leah G Guzman,Marion Lara Tan,Carissa Quintana,Jairus Carmela C Josol +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for characterizing vulnerability caused by interdependency by adapting a supply chain lens is proposed, which recognizes the transboundary and teleconnected nature of vulnerability arising from resource networks among cities and communities.

A place-based model for understanding community resilience to natural disasters
Susan L. Cutter,Lindsey Barnes,Melissa Berry,Christopher G. Burton,Elijah Evans,Eric Tate,Jennifer J. Webb +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the disaster resilience of place (DROP) model is proposed to improve comparative assessments of disaster resilience at the local or community level, and a candidate set of variables for implementing the model are also presented as a first step towards its implementation.

Disaster Resilience Indicators for Benchmarking Baseline Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a methodology and a set of indicators for measuring baseline characteristics of communities that foster resilience by establishing baseline conditions, it becomes possible to monitor changes in resilience over time in particular places and to compare one place to another.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Social Vulnerability Index for Disaster Management
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a social vulnerability index (SVI) from 15 census variables at the census tract level for use in emergency management is described, and the potential value of the SVI by exploring the impact of Hurricane Katrina on local populations.

A flood vulnerability index for coastal cities and its use in assessing climate change impacts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a Coastal City Flood Vulnerability Index (CCFVI) based on exposure, susceptibility and resilience to coastal flooding, which is applied to nine cities around the world, each with different kinds of exposure.
