Research & Situational Assessment for Community Resilience Network

The contract seeks to perform a comprehensive research and situational assessment aimed at strengthening community resilience through a systematic analysis of CRH documentation, mapping of human and organizational networks, and identification of key community-serving facilities. The work requires evaluating existing coordination structures and pinpointing gaps in communication, resource allocation, and operational synergy between individuals, groups, and physical locations that support community stability and emergency response. The ultimate goal is to develop a conceptual dual-network framework that integrates both social networks—composed of people and organizations—and physical networks—represented by critical infrastructure and service sites—into a unified model designed to enhance coordination during crises and routine operations. The assessment will involve deep engagement with local stakeholders, collection and synthesis of existing records, and spatial and relational analysis to uncover interdependencies and vulnerabilities within the community’s resilience architecture. The output must provide actionable insights for improving systemic preparedness, ensuring that both human and physical components of resilience are recognized, connected, and mutually reinforced. The contract is a subcontract under the County of Maui in Hawaii, with a submission deadline of August 5, 2026, and is categorized under NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services, indicating a focus on strategic advisory and analytical deliverables rather than implementation or construction.
