MDC-GISEC3--Social and Urban Vulnerability Analysis for REsilience Building---Local Disaster Risk Assessment and Community Engagement to Improve Resilience Report

This paper presents the first-year results of the GISEC Project that creates an academic pathway and enhances technological applications for environmental hazards awareness and community engagement in Miami-Dade County. The educational pathway articulates a career from high school to undergraduate and graduate studies. The pathway focuses on GIS, and IT careers, with a research and project learning platform that delivers disaster risk analysis study cases under natural hazard conditions. This effort fills a gap in the GIS educational pipeline in South Florida, with a particular orientation to include minorities underrepresented in GIS occupations, serving a 68.6% Hispanic and 18.2% African American community.
