Abstract:

This project aims to fill such gaps by developing a model for calculating a Social Fabric Index (SoFI) using publicly available data that is both replicable and scalable. To test the model’s applicability and robustness, it was applied to a case study area and subjected to uncertainty analysis and global sensitivity analysis. The overall objective of this project is to evaluate the unintended consequences of flood mitigation activities (i.e., buyout programs) represented as community costs of measures such as residential home buyouts. While buyouts are used in both coastal and inland communities as a mitigation approach, this study is focused primarily on a case study of an inland riverine community because an inland community may have more alternatives for mitigation than coastal areas (i.e., relocation and elevation may be more amenable options in some inland areas).
