Designing a Resilience Hub for Vulnerable Populations in Las Carolinas, Puerto Rico C24
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerGovernment agencies have been slow to respond and support Puerto Rican communities' post-disaster. The Centro de Apoyo Mutuo (CAM) in rural Las Carolinas is a mutual aid center based in a repurposed school that aims to increase community resilience and disaster preparedness for their community. Our project supported CAM Las Carolinas’ resilience efforts by developing a disaster preparedness mobilization system that documented household-level assets and risks to improve post-disaster response effectiveness. The system was informed by interviews with 42 las Carolinas residents, 4 community leaders, and 6 other mutual aid centers. We created a database and mapping system to locate at-risk community members and provided the CAM with recommendations to build long-term resilience.
