Description

Todd Manini, Shangde Gao, and Yan Wang test a new way to measure how neighborhoods bounce back after a hurricane, in a 2024 conference abstract. They borrow the resilience triangle, an engineering idea for how systems lose and regain function. Their test case is Hurricane Ian, which struck Florida in 2022.

The team tracked visits to points of interest using location data from 47 million phones. They followed 4,749 exposed Florida neighborhoods from a month before the storm to a year after. For each area they measured the depth of the mobility drop, how fully movement recovered, and how long recovery took. Neighborhoods with older median age recovered worse and slower. Areas with more residents over sixty-five were hit harder on all three measures. Adjusting for wind speed, income, housing, and health factors barely changed the pattern.
