The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded the University of Southern California $309,702 on October 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop sentiment-driven digital twins that integrate public sentiment with infrastructure damage and recovery data for improved forecasting of community hazard recovery following natural disasters. The research will create a quantitative framework combining multisource data on community sentiment, hazard damage, and socioeconomic indicators to reveal how social psychology influences recovery trajectories. The project encompasses two interconnected objectives: first, curation and analysis of historical multi-hazard datasets including civil infrastructure damage, socioeconomic indicators, and spatiotemporal sentiment data extracted from public digital platforms; and second, information-theoretic approaches to identify predictive mechanisms linking community sentiment to recovery outcomes. These tools will support emergency managers and community leaders with actionable insights for disaster recovery planning and advance understanding of disaster resilience across natural hazard types including earthquakes and wildfires. Performance occurs at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
