Map Maker, Report Producer, Toolkit Developer, Researcher

Project Management: Larisa Ovalles Paulino

Urban Risk Lab (URL) worked with FEMA on a beta toolkit to assist city municipalities in planning for post-disaster emergency housing scenarios. The online interface simplified the bureaucratic processes needed for the city to apply for FEMA funding and provided support for different disaster scenarios.

While the URL team has worked with several municipalities using this toolkit, my work was with the City of Chelsea (Chelsea Disaster Housing Working Group and the Boston Office of Emergency Management) to produce the Chelsea Basic Workshop Summary Report and build toward the intermediate level of the toolkit interface.
