The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $133,453 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Chapman University. This collaborative research project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to advance the understanding of the effectiveness of structural mitigation approaches in reducing damage to coastal households from hurricane wind, wave, and surge hazards.

The project will develop and evaluate a multi-level interdisciplinary mitigation behavior model to simulate household-level home retrofit decisions in response to hurricane hazards. It will also explore the benefit-cost of mitigation options and reductions in building fragility. The research findings will be used to create a user-friendly web application to allow users to compare retrofit options and make informed decisions. An extensive dissemination, training, and outreach campaign will be conducted in coastal communities to increase awareness of home mitigation options.
