The methodology used in this software decision support tool frames the economic decision process by identifying and comparing the relevant present and future streams of costs and benefitsthe latter realized through cost savings and damage loss avoidanceassociated with new capital investment into resilience to those future streams generated by maintaining a communitys status-quo.
The EDGeS Tool is designed for use in conjunction with the NIST ∼ommunity Resilience Planning Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems (CRPG). It provides a standard economic methodology for evaluating investment decisions aimed to improve the ability of communities to adapt to, withstand, and quickly recover from disruptive events. The decision support software is aimed at those engaged in community-level resilience planning, such as community planners, and resilience officers, as well as budget officers. The methodology is based on guidance provided in the NIST ∼ommunity Resilience Economic Decision Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems (Economic Decision Guide). The EDGeS (Economic Decision Guide Software) Tool version 1.0 implements a rational, systemic methodology for selecting cost-effective community resilience alternative strategies.
