This research was motivated by the need to better understand how the hazard preparedness and resilience strategies of California’s public transportation system can be improved through integration with social and safety infrastructure. The study focuses on a specific type of social infrastructure called ‘Resilience Hubs’, which are community-operated and community-serving facilities that support residents in accessing resources and support during both everyday conditions and extreme events. Considering the potential of these hubs to enhance resilience and safety for historically marginalized individuals, public sectordecision makers must understand the function and impact of Resilience Hubs and ensure access to them.
