This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $522,462 to the University of California, Santa Barbara to develop advanced computational solutions based on spatial analytics and locational data, such as mobile phone information, to study how communities respond to natural disasters, especially wildfires. The key products and services delivered under this 3-year award, from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028, include: 1) using mobile phone data as behavioral markers to model how people's movement patterns change during different disaster phases, with a focus on resource access and placement; 2) developing new machine learning and spatial analysis methods to understand travel patterns and logistical vulnerabilities during crisis events; and 3) creating open-source tools to help researchers investigate disaster impacts and improve decision-making in urban planning and emergency response. The project also provides opportunities for students to develop analytical skills for STEM careers.
