On March, 2021 the CBTS COE, and the Stochastic Geomechanics Laboratory (SGL) organized a webinar with Dr. Bethany DeSalvo from the U.S. Census Bureau as a guest speaker to present the methodology behind the Community Resilience Estimates (CRE). The CRE provide an easily understood metric for how at-risk every neighborhood in the United States is to the impacts of COVID-19. This metric uses granular data to measure the individual and community’s ability to respond to the effects of the pandemic. Information from the CRE could be easily utilized by policy makers to inform vaccine distribution, where to provide education on public health standards, and pinpoint areas that are at a greater risk of inequitable incomes.
