• Abstract: This study presents a framework for assessing urban critical infrastructure resilience during extreme events, such as hurricanes. The approach combines GIS and network analysis with open remote sensing data of the aftermath, vector data on infrastructure, and socio-demographic attributes of populations in affected areas. Using Panama City as an example case study, this paper quantifies hurricane impacts on residents and identifies vulnerable locations for urban planners' attention. Simulations demonstrate how implementing measures at identified weak points can improve system resilience. Comparing pre-hurricane conditions with the aftermath and several years later allows observing network property changes and assessing overall resilience improvements. Findings indicate that individuals over 65 in the studied settlement are more susceptible to disasters, while males in this age category face higher risks.

  Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate hallucinations. RAG systems are vulnerable to adversarial poisoning attacks, where malicious passages injected into retrieval databases can mislead the model into generating factually incorrect outputs. This paper investigates both the retrieval and the generation components of RAG systems to understand how to enhance their robustness against such attacks.

  We propose a mixed data approach, which leverages publicly available satellite imagery and geolocation features of the affected area to identify damaged buildings after a hurricane. The method demonstrated significant improvement from performing a similar task using only imagery features, based on a case study of Hurricane Harvey affecting Greater Houston area in 2017. In this work, a creative choice of the geolocation features was made to provide extra information to the imagery features, but it is up to the users to decide which other features can be included to model the physical behavior of the events, depending on their domain knowledge and the type of disaster.
