Modeling community resilience to flood hazards has gained substantial interest over the past two decades due to the increased risk from climate change and urbanization. Climate change increases both the frequency and intensity of some natural hazards, which is further exacerbated by urbanization. Post-hazard functionality assessment of buildings and communities following flood hazards is crucial for risk- and resilience-informed decisions. Although modeling building damage is essential to quantify the post-hazard functionality, it is insufficient for a comprehensive community resilience assessment. In this research developed a comprehensive flood post-hazard functionality model by chaining engineering models for damage prediction with socio-economic models. This approach accounts for the complex physical, social, and economic interdependencies between the different systems within the community. This approach is intended to be the first step in a comprehensive socio-physical community resilience model that can inform resilience-based decisions for buildings and communities.
