The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded $367,130 to University of California, Berkeley on October 1, 2026 for research developing sentiment-driven digital twins that integrate community sentiment data with infrastructure damage and recovery information to improve forecasting of hazard recovery trajectories. The award supports research under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project develops a quantitative framework linking social psychology to community recovery by integrating multisource data on community sentiment, hazard damage, and socioeconomic indicators. Research objectives include curating and analyzing historical multi-hazard datasets encompassing civil infrastructure damage, socioeconomic indicators, and spatiotemporal sentiment data extracted from public digital platforms, then using information-theoretic approaches to identify predictive mechanisms linking community sentiment to recovery outcomes. The resulting tools will support emergency managers and community leaders with actionable insights for recovery planning following natural disasters such as earthquakes and wildfires. Performance occurs in Berkeley, California from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029.
