Community Resilience Catalyst: Co-Designing an Integrated Participatory Mapping System for Enhancing Disaster Resilience through Community Engagement
Organization: Hispanic Federation
Primary Investigator: David Carrasquillo
Research Track: Climate & Environmental Resilience
This project aims to co-develop a civic technology solution that closes the last-mile disaster relief gap and builds long-term resilience for underserved communities in Puerto Rico. With a suite of mobile and desktop applications, we will leverage community networks, local knowledge and information, and technology to inform and coordinate collective action across residents, community groups, and humanitarian aid agencies to prepare and respond to disasters.
