“…This network gives an opportunity to individuals/households that are normally isolated to connect to other members of the community or potentially to the internet. Since community microgrids guarantee a sustainable power supply during blackouts, this local network can play a vital role during natural disasters [25,26]. (5) Deployment of community microgrids creates new public-private partnerships and catalyzes community engagement centered around shared energy resources [27][28][29].…”

“…The following table illustrates the key contributions of this work, highlighting the gaps filled in the existing literature. Assessing the technical and financial feasibility of WRRF-based community microgrid deployment must follow a sequence of steps as follows [26] (see Figure 2). Goal prioritization: deployment of community microgrids yields several benefits.…”

The overarching goal of this paper is to explore innovative ways to adapt existing urban infrastructure to achieve a greener and more resilient city, specifically on synergies between the power grid, the wastewater treatment system, and community development in low-lying coastal areas. This study addresses the technical feasibility, benefits, and barriers of using wastewater resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) as community-scale microgrids. These microgrids will act as central resilience and community development hubs, enabling the adoption of renewable energy and the provision of ongoing services under emergency conditions. Load flow modeling and analysis were carried out using real network data for a case study in New York City (NYC). The results validate the hypothesis that distributed energy resources (DERs) at WRRFs can play a role in improving grid operation and resiliency.

“…Their findings revealed that the distribution and intensity of risk greatly affect the anti-risk planning of the city's administrative area, thereby changing the resilience of the community. Moreover, other scholars, including Abdelhady et al [78], Wang et al [79], Her et al [80], Gholizadeh [81], Nofal [82], Baca et al [83], Chen and Ji [84], etc., conducted some regional studies using a small sample analysis method. Additionally, studies of resilience for different types of urban infrastructure in communities were implemented in a large body of literatures.…”

Natural hazards bring significant influences on and socioeconomic loss to cities and communities. Historic events show that fire following earthquake (FFE) is the most influential uncertain disturbance on the urban infrastructure system. Under the FFE scenario, the concept of resilience is widely implemented to make up the shortcomings derived from the traditional disaster management methodology. Resilient cities and communities are required to improve the systemic performance in responding to the FFE. To fulfill these goals, measuring community resilience is an essential work for municipal policy makers. Therefore, this study conducted a comprehensive assessment on community resilience adapted to the FFE scenario. The systematic literature review (SLR) was employed to identify the indicators, and the analytic network process (ANP) technique was implemented to determine their weights. 20 indicators were extracted, and 4 communities that encountered FFE in China were selected for the empirical analysis. Thereafter, the preference ranking organization method for enriched evaluation (PROMETHEE) II technique was selected through using the multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods selection framework to fulfill the comprehensive assessment. The results were discussed and demonstrated with graphical analysis for interactive aid (GAIA) technique. The findings revealed that the G Community won the highest score and had the strongest performance. However, H Community had the lowest score and the weakest performance. The proposed comprehensive methods could benefit the decision-makers and the policy executors achieving the community resilience adapted to the FFE scenario by improving the effective indicators.
