Tracking Community Resilience (TraCR) Database
Community resilience is the ability to prepare, adapt, withstand, and recover from disruptions. There is a growing field of research that focuses on community-level resilience. Many have developed and studied methods for measuring resilience quantitatively and qualitatively. The Tracking Community Resilience (TraCR) database is a tool for developing and testing analytical methods for computing county-level indicators for community resilience. TraCR can be used by local communities, researchers, and decision makers at various levels to assess and measure longitudinal community resilience. TraCR is part of the Community Resilience Assessment Methodology, which aims to develop a first-generation methodology to assess resilience at the community scale based on community functions, supported by buildings and infrastructure systems, and the recovery of those functions following a disruptive hazard event.
