The three-year REKINDLE initiative combines artificial intelligence, infrastructure modeling, Earth-observation data, and social science to understand cascading impacts such as debris flows, flash floods, and failures in power, water, and transportation systems. Researchers will study communities in California, develop predictive tools, and examine household responses. The project aims to guide infrastructure investments, emergency planning, recovery efforts, education, and workforce development.
