“…Other studies pertaining to healthcare systems have established a basis for assessing the functionality of hospitals following earthquake events [24][25][26] , modeling the surge capacity of hospitals [27] , developing real-time hospital bed tracking/monitoring systems [28] , and modeling the interaction between hospitals as a network [29] . Previous studies of educational systems following extreme events are more limited and have focused on measuring the performance of schools during normal operating conditions [30,31] or during and after earthquakes [32][33][34] . One study introduced a model that could be used to predict school functionality after extreme natural disasters [35] .…”

Social institutions such as hospitals and schools are among the main pillars of community stability. A drop in the functionality of hospitals and schools is likely to have short-term and long-term effects on a community, including a reduction in medical interventions, an increase in unschooled children, and population outmigration in search of essential social services. However, comprehensive community resilience models that consider the role played by social institutions in community stability following natural disasters are scarce at the present time. This paper provides a literature review and critical appraisal of previous studies on the resilience of hospital and school systems and their impact on community well-being. The review encompasses existing resilience models for single hospitals and schools, their role when connected with other hospitals and schools in a network, their reliance on each other as interdependent systems, and their role in community resilience and stability. Different mitigation strategies and policies to enhance hospital and school systems’ resilience after extreme natural hazards are also summarized. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations to improve current models for social institutions, enhance the connection between existing hospital and school resilience models and community resilience frameworks, and develop social stability indices that policymakers can use in preparing and mitigating future extreme events.

“…Different options for delivering education also exist; one of these options is homeschooling, which allows parents to teach their children from home. Previous studies have focused on measuring the performance of schools during normal operating conditions (Mayer et al, 2000; National Research Council, 2012) while other studies pertained to performance during and after earthquakes (Augenti et al, 2004; Beaglehole et al, 2018; Oyguc & Guley, 2017). However, these studies did not introduce models that could be used to predict school functionality after extreme natural hazard events, such as earthquakes.…”

Resilience of School Systems Following Severe Earthquakes

Natural disasters may have catastrophic and long-lasting impacts on communities' physical, economic, and social infrastructure. Slow recovery of educational services following such events is likely to cause traumatic stress in children, lead families to out-migrate, and affect the community's overall social stability. Methods for quantifying and assessing the restoration process of educational systems and their dependencies on other supporting infrastructure have not received adequate attention. This study introduces, for the first time, a new framework to evaluate the functionality, recovery, and resilience of a school system following severe earthquake events. The framework considers both the quantity and quality of education services provided, school enrollment, and staff employment, as well as the interaction between various agents such as staff, students, parents, administration, and community. A virtual testbed community, Centerville, is utilized to highlight the application of this framework. The impact of school reopening policies on the number of students enrolled as well as the potential for homeschooling is also considered. The availability of various enrollment alternatives for students, backup classroom space and functioning utility systems, and facilitation of staff and supplies transfer between schools substantially increase the resilience of the education service. Plain Language Summary Recovery of educational services following natural disasters is key for ensuring the well-being of communities and for maintaining the overall social stability. Currently, there is a lack of quantifiable methodologies for assessing the restoration process of educational systems while accounting for their dependencies on other supporting infrastructure and the society. In this study, a new sociotechnical approach is devised for evaluating functionality, recovery, and resilience of a school system following severe earthquake events. The framework is applied to a virtual testbed to highlight its application. Various social and physical parameters are shown to have a substantial impact on the recovery trajectory and the overall resilience of the schools.
