Residential building recovery

Residential building recovery#

Description

This analysis computes the recovery time needed for each residential building from any damage states to achieve full restoration. Currently, supported hazards are tornadoes.

The methodology incorporates a multi-layer Monte Carlo simulation approach and determines the two-step recovery time which includes both the delay period and repair period. The delay model was modified based on the REDi framework and calculated the end-result outcomes resulting from delay impeding factors such as post-disaster inspection, insurance claims, and building permit issuance. The repair model followed the FEMA P-58 approach and ultimately utilized fragility functions from Koliou and van de Lindt (2020).

The outputs of this analysis is a CSV file with time-stepping recovery probabilities at the building level.
