Community research is conducted in collaboration with public and nonprofit organizations and focused on addressing urban freight, logistics, supply chain, and transportation challenges that have a direct impact on local communities. These projects involve working closely with these organizations and engaging with the community to develop effective solutions that not only enhance logistics and transportation efficiency but also align with the goals and missions of local entities.

Summary:
Inhabited islands are susceptible to natural hazards, such as wildfires. To avoid disasters, preventative measures and guidelines need to be in place to strengthen community resilience. If these fail, evacuation is often the only choice. However, island evacuation is a vastly understudied problem in both research and practice, particularly for islands without permanent road connections to the mainland that require marine evacuation.
