Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities (BRIC) Index

The Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities Index aims to help
identify communities that are resilient to natural hazards. This BRIC data set
contains polygon layers for the overall Hazards Vulnerability and Resilience
Institute (HVRI) BRIC using six capitals (Social, Economic, Community,
Economic, Institutional, Housing and Infrastructural, and Environmental) based
on county-level inputs from 2010, 2015, and 2020. The files contain all six
capital scores and the BRIC score for each county. BRIC values range from 0 to
6 based on the six capital scores ranging from 0 to 1. Capital scores are
calculated from min-maxed values of each of their component variables. For all
variables, capitals, and the BRIC values, 0 represents the lowest community
resilience, and higher values represent the most resilient counties. The data
are provided for the entire United States following the county geography of the
year the BRIC was created and for the contiguous United States following the
county geography of the year the BRIC was created. 2010 BRIC is only available
for the contiguous United States.

社区基线韧性指标（Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities Index，简称BRIC）旨在助力识别具备自然灾害抵御韧性的社区。本BRIC数据集包含由灾害脆弱性与韧性研究院（Hazards Vulnerability and Resilience Institute，简称HVRI）基于六大资本维度构建的整体BRIC多边形图层，六大资本分别为社会资本、经济资本、社区资本、经济资本、制度资本、住房与基础设施资本以及环境资本，数据基于2010、2015及2020年的县级统计输入数据生成。数据集文件涵盖所有六大资本得分以及各县级行政区的BRIC总得分。BRIC总得分的取值范围为0至6，其分值由取值区间0至1的六大资本得分计算得到。各类资本得分由其各组成变量的最小-最大标准化值计算得出。对于所有变量、各类资本及BRIC总得分而言，0代表社区韧性水平最低，分值越高则对应县域的韧性越强。本数据集按照BRIC编制当年的县级地理边界，覆盖美国全域及美国本土连续区域；其中2010年版BRIC仅可获取美国本土连续区域的数据。
