This project develops AI-augmented resilience agents that integrate multi-source urban data to perform contextual risk assessment during compound disruptions such as heatwaves, storms, and grid failures. By combining mobility patterns, infrastructure vulnerabilities, environmental conditions, and outage histories, the agents generate dynamic, situational awareness of evolving risks at the neighborhood and system levels. Unlike static models, these agents incorporate real-time contextual cues and human behavioral patterns, enabling more nuanced and accurate risk interpretation in complex urban settings. Building on this contextual intelligence, the resilience agents simulate adaptive responses, such as changes in mobility, shelter use, or infrastructure stress, to support planners in evaluating and optimizing emergency strategies. The project will produce a lightweight prototype capable of scenario exploration and preliminary decision guidance for urban disaster planning and emergency management.
