1 NSF ERC Pre-proposal Engineering Research Center on Hurricane-resilient Communities: Technology, Education, Innovation

2 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY Area of Focus  Hurricane-Resilient Community  Sustainability  Infrastructure Interdependence

3 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY Vision The Center will foster resilience and sustainability in communities, via coupled socio-economic and engineering systems at various temporal and spatial scales. We will develop generalizable dynamic models of infrastructure systems, including their inherent vulnerabilities and operational inter-dependencies, using hurricane hazards as proxy transient stressors. To accomplish this, we will conduct extensive multi- scale theoretical and experimental studies leveraging intermural infrastructure.

4 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY System of Systems Approach

5 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY Goals  Provide engineering leadership in fostering resilient communities through interdisciplinary hurricane mitigation research and education  Develop innovative hurricane-resilient building technologies and systems to minimize damage and loss  Develop a robust and dynamic decision support platform and tools to be used by community planners and stakeholders for performance- and consequence-based decision-making Strategic Plan The knowledge generated by the Center will transform community development to reduce hazard impacts through improved understanding of the interdependencies of the various systems and through employing newly developed information, tools, and technology toward creating safe, resilient, and sustainable communities.

6 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY Research Thrusts: Characterization of Community Systems Characterization of Hurricane Stressors Developing Innovative Resilient Building Technologies Developing Engineering Systems for Hurricane Resilience Spatial Decision Support System for Community Resilience Mechanisms to Incentivize Implementation

7 TOP URBAN PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY Workforce Development (Education)  Training students to become engineers knowledgeable in building sustainable communities  High return educational curriculum to be proposed to the State  High School teacher training at the Center; engaging the School Board to certify teachers (Miami-Dade/FIU and Broward/UM coverage)  Incorporating socio-economic aspects within local education efforts Innovation Ecosystem  Industrial Collaboration and Innovation through Membership Structure  Streamlined Research-to-Practice Process through Expeditious Technology Transfer  Inter-University Agreements to Facilitate Innovation and Commercialization  Industry Summit – Yearly Hurricane Technology Fair  Industrial Advisory Board  Extension of: PFI-AIR: CREST-I/UCRC-Industry Ecosystem to Pipeline Research
