Abstract
This paper introduces a new methodology to evaluate the resilience of communities. The methodology is based on the PEOPLES framework and it makes use of resilience indicators to evaluate community resilience. The methodology requires data for the indicators as input and returns a resilience function as an output. The resilience function shows the serviceability of the community for a given period of time following the disaster. This methodology has been implemented in the form of two software tools. The first one is a web app that is accessible at http://www.resiltronics.org/PEOPLES/login.php or http://borispio.ddns.net/PEOPLES/login.php while the other is a desktop software. The output quality provided by the tools is not compromised with their usage simplicity. Both softwares are meant to assist the user to use the introduced resilience framework by offering a user-friendly interface. As a case study, the resilience of the city of San Francisco city has been evaluated using both tools.
