The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,798 project grant under its Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to the University of California Irvine (UCI) to develop a "Disaster Digital Twin" (DDT) framework that leverages human-centered data to improve community resilience, with a focus on older adult populations. The 3-year project aims to:

  1. Integrate diverse data sources (geospatial and human-centric) into a novel data architecture to support enrichment and harmonization of multi-resolution spatiotemporal data.
  2. Execute physics-driven hazard simulations using the integrated data to simulate disaster processes and consequences in a "Virtual Disaster City" model.
  3. Explore how the DDT framework and tools can optimize disaster response decisions and policies, particularly for older adult populations in disaster-prone regions of the U.S. and Japan.

As part of this project, UCI has awarded a sub-grant to Imagecat, Inc., a small disadvantaged business, to contribute expertise in geospatial data processing, risk modeling, and developing dashboards to assess disaster impacts and resilience planning for senior communities.
