This book aims to provide a collection of early ideas regarding the results of applying risk and resilience tools and strategies to COVID-19. Each chapter provides a distinct contribution to the new and rapidly growing literature on the developing COVID-19 pandemic from the vantage points of fields ranging from civil and environmental engineering to public policy, from urban planning to economics, and from public health to systems theory. Contributing chapters to the book are both scholars and active practitioners, who are bridging their applied work with critical scholarly interpretation and reflection. The book’s primary purpose is to empower stakeholders and decision-makers with the most recent research in order that they can better understand the systemic and sweeping nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as which strategies could be implemented to maximize socioeconomic and public health recovery and adaptation over the long-term.

Benjamin D. Trump is a Research Social Scientist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Dr. Trump’s work focuses on decision making and governance of activities under significant uncertainty, such as emerging and enabling technologies (synthetic biology, nanotechnology) and developing organizational, infrastructural, social, and informational resilience against systemic threats to complex interconnected systems. Dr. Trump served as a delegate to assist U.S. presence in OECD’s Global Science Forum in 2017, and was the President of the Society for Risk Analysis’ Decision Analysis and Risk Specialty Group in 2018-2019, as well as its Resilience Analysis Specialty Group in 2019-2020. He was selected as a Fellow of the Emerging Leaders in Biosecurity Initiative, Class of 2019. In December 2019, Dr. Trump was installed as the Treasurer-Elect of the Society for Risk Analysis. Dr. Trump was also a contributing author of the International Risk Governance Council’s Guidelines for the Governance of Systemic Risks, as well as their 2nd Volume of the Resource Guide on Resilience. Dr. Trump is also frequently active with several Advanced Research Workshops for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Science for Peace Programme, including his role as co-Coordinator with Kamrul Hossain of an Advanced Research Workshop titled Cybersecurity and Resilience for the Arctic (which serves as the inspiration for this book). Co-authored with Dr. Igor Linkov, Dr. Trump’s book The
Science and Practice of Resilience (2019) includes a detailed discussion of the methodological, philosophical, and governance-related work behind the concept of resilience. His follow-up book with Dr. Myriam Merad,
