Topic: Hurricane-Resilient City

Coastal cities with dense populations are highly susceptible to hurricane-related hazards, including strong winds, heavy rain, high surges/waves, and severe flooding. Hence, improving urban resilience to hurricane events is of paramount importance. Recent decades have witnessed significant success in implementing advanced schemes to enhance the safety and serviceability of urban infrastructure, ensuring the well-being of humans during disastrous hurricanes. To explore the potential benefits of technological and methodological advancements, this Special Issue seeks the latest progress in the research of leveraging advanced tools to enhance urban resilience against hurricane hazards. The topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following:

● Modeling schemes of hurricane hazards on a city scale;

● Hurricane impacts on urban structures and infrastructure systems;

● Risk analysis of urban infrastructure subject to hurricane hazards;

● Hurricane resilience assessment of urban infrastructure in the context of climate change;

● Considerations of social equity in urban resilience planning for hurricane hazards;

● Methods for hurricane mitigation in urban infrastructure;

● Emergency response strategies for cities during hurricanes;

● Post-hurricane recovery of urban infrastructure;

● Climate adaptation of hurricane-sensitive urban infrastructure.
