“…The study survey was developed as part of a larger research center effort to measure and understand community resilience. 28 The survey specifically aimed to measure household or individual level constructs that aligned with a community level model of resilience. This model was developed based on 18 domains of community functioning.…”

Objectives:This study empirically examines preparedness with a kit, medication, and a disaster plan on disaster outcomes including perceived recovery, property damage, and use of medical or mental health services.Methods:Using a cross-sectional, retrospective study design, 1114 households in New York City were interviewed 21-34 months following Super Storm Sandy. Bivariate associations were examined and logistic regression models fit to predict the odds of disaster outcomes given the level of preparedness.Results:Respondents with an evacuation plan were more likely to report not being recovered (odds ratio [OR] = 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5-3.8), property damage (OR = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9), and use of medical services (OR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.5). Respondents reporting a supply of prescription medication were more likely to report using mental health (OR = 3.5; 95% CI: 1.2-9.8) and medical services (OR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.8)Conclusions:Having a kit, plan, and medication did not reduce risk of adverse outcomes in Superstorm Sandy in this sample. Disaster managers should consider the lack of evidence for preparedness when making public education and resource allocation decisions. Additional research is needed to identify preparedness measures that lead to better outcomes for more efficient and effective response and recovery.

“…This historical research presented in this paper was part of a larger research effort to construct case studies of historical disasters to create a conceptual model of community functioning and resiliency (Links et al, ). As part of that study, we conducted historical research on the response to and recovery from the Xenia tornado of 1974.…”

This paper reanalyzes the 1974 Xenia, OH (U.S.) tornado in comparison to the 2013 Moore tornado in light of current theories of disaster mental health and emergency planning and operation. It argues that prior conclusions can be reinterpreted as theoretical perspectives shift. Utilizing archival materials from the 1974 Xenia tornado and original fieldwork following the 2013 Moore, OK (U.S.) tornado, researchers examined 23 boxes of primary documents and interview material and corroborated their understanding of the archival data with the original research report on the 1974 recovery study to test for internal consistency. They then compared those findings to what was observed in the 2013 Moore tornado. While contemporary analysis tended to be critical of the mental health response, owing to a lack of planning, we found that mental health and faith‐based participants repurposed a faltering system to provide a variety of services. An approach similar to what we know today as Psychological First Aid was the preferred approach by community groups responding to disaster in 1974 over the initial medically oriented model of counseling and in Moore in 2013. This shift may point to the efficacy of the approach in meeting community needs.

“…One of the advantages to the decentralized power supply is that it may allow for more The networked systems of the left-hand side of Figure 16 are interdependent, mostly upon the so-called big three of power, transportation, and utilities such as water supply and treatment. These systems overlap with the following ten community functioning domains developed by Kirsch et al [33] and Links et al [34]: (1) communication, (2) economy, (3) education, (4) food and water, (5) government, (6) housing, (7) health care and public health, (8) nurturing and care, (9) transportation, and (10) well-being. Many of the services of the ten domains require specific physical infrastructure such as power delivery [34].…”

New Building Cladding System Using Independent Tilted BIPV Panels with Battery Storage Capability

et al. 2019

In order to meet renewable energy goals in the near future, the deployment of photovoltaic (PV) panels on buildings will dramatically increase. The objective of this paper is to introduce an improved design for PV cladding systems that will greatly contribute to meeting these renewable energy goals. Typically, building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels are vertically oriented as cladding and they are not coupled with individual storage batteries. The proposed cladding couples a tilted BIPV panel with one or more storage batteries at each building placement. Thus, the tilted BIPV plus battery system is independent of other power generation in the building and it is referred to as a “building perma-power link” (BPPL) cladding element. Each cladding panel is designed as a stand-alone system, which will be useful for installation, operation, and maintenance. The hyper-redundancy of multiple BPPL cladding panels for a typical building significantly enhances its overall energy resiliency. In order to foster manufacturing ease, each individual cladding unit has been designed at tilts of 45° and 60°. An example of a mid-rise building in Seattle, Washington is provided. The degree of building energy resiliency provided through multiple BPPLs is examined.

COPEWELL: A Conceptual Framework and System Dynamics Model for Predicting Community Functioning and Resilience After Disasters

Abstract: The work is transparent, motivates ongoing refinements, and identifies areas for improved measurements. After validation, such a model can be used to identify effective investments to enhance community resilience. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018;12:127-137).
