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.

Developing a framework for a social vulnerability and consequence-based post-disaster behavior analysis methodology.
TL;DR: The proposed framework in this aspect will be utilizing previous social vulnerability and seismic loss assessment studies to develop an analysis methodology for affected population and social response analyses to help response planners and decision makers in determining the needs for the surviving population in the recovery process.
