Fran H. Norris,Fran H. Norris,Fran H. Norris,Susan P. Stevens,Susan P. Stevens,Susan P. Stevens,Betty Pfefferbaum,Betty Pfefferbaum,Betty Pfefferbaum,Karen Fraser Wyche,Karen Fraser Wyche,Karen Fraser Wyche,Rose L. Pfefferbaum,Rose L. Pfefferbaum,Rose L. Pfefferbaum +14 more
TL;DR: To build collective resilience, communities must reduce risk and resource inequities, engage local people in mitigation, create organizational linkages, boost and protect social supports, and plan for not having a plan, which requires flexibility, decision-making skills, and trusted sources of information that function in the face of unknowns.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Fatalities Due to Hurricane Katrina's Impacts in Louisiana
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a novel approach to solve the problem of homonymity in homonym identification, i.e., homonymonymity-based homonymization.

Is a clean river fun for all? Recognizing social vulnerability in watershed planning
Bethany B. Cutts,Andrew J. Greenlee,Natalie K. Prochaska,Carolina V. Chantrill,Annie B. Contractor,Juliana M. Wilhoit,Nancy Abts,Kaitlyn Hornik +7 more
TL;DR: The combination of interviews and demographic analyses in this study provides an assessment technique that can help watershed planners understand the limits of their own conceptualization of social vulnerability and acknowledge the importance of place-based vulnerabilities that may otherwise be obscured.

Connecting the Dots: Linking Environmental Justice Indicators to Daily Dose Model Estimates.
Hongtai Huang,Timothy M. Barzyk +1 more
TL;DR: This study applies the Average Daily Dose (ADD) model, which has been commonly used in RA, to better understand impacts of EJ indicators upon exposure dose estimates and dose-related variables, termed the Environmental-Justice-Average-Daily-Dose (EJ-ADD) approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration, climate, and international aid: examining evidence of satellite, aid, and micro-census data
Daniel M. Runfola,Ashley Napier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between climate impacts on livelihoods and corresponding migratory patterns and found that migration can serve as an adaptive strategy if local livelihoods are threatened.
