Interdependent Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (INCORE)

Developer/Partners: NIST Center of Excellence for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning (N/A)

Relevant Hazard/Threat(s): Natural hazards

Intent: Utilizes a cloud computing system and various modules to provide users with comparisons of alternative resilience strategies.

IN-CORE incorporates a risk-based approach to decision-making that enables quantitative comparisons of alternative resilience strategies. On the IN-CORE platform, data from the community can be seamlessly integrated which allows users to optimize community disaster resilience planning and post-disaster recovery strategies intelligently using physics-based models of inter-dependent physical systems combined with socio-economic systems. IN-CORE is the results of a collaboration between Universities funded by the NIST Center of Excellence for Community Resilience Planning

Inputs: 
Outputs: A model of the impact of natural hazards and resiliency against the impact on communities.
