This decision support software is designed to support those engaged in community-level resilience planning, including community planners and resilience officers, as well as economic development, budget, and public works officials. It provides a standard economic methodology for evaluating investment decisions required to improve the ability of communities to adapt to, withstand, and quickly recover from natural, technology, and human-caused disruptive events. The tool helps to identify and compare the relevant present and future resilience costs and benefits associated with new capital investment versus maintaining a community?s status-quo. The benefits include cost savings and damage loss avoidance because enhancing resilience on a community scale creates value, including co-benefits, even if a hazard event does not strike.EDGe$ uses the approach seen in The NIST \"Community Resilience Economic Decision Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems\" https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1197", "distribution": [{"accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.18434/T4/1423120", "description": "DOI Access for EDGe$ (Economic Decision Guide Software) Tool", "format": "text/html", "title": "DOI Access for EDGe$ (Economic Decision Guide Software) Tool"}], "identifier": "6414E3204E0696CBE0531A570681025E1890", "keyword": ["Benefit-cost analysis", "buildings", "communities", "constructed facilities", "resilience", "economic analysis", "economic decision tool", "life-cycle costing", "resilience dividend", "software"], "landingPage": "https://data.nist.gov/od/id/6414E3204E0696CBE0531A570681025E1890", "language": ["en"], "license": "https://www.nist.gov/open/license", "modified": "2018-01-08 00:00:00", "programCode": ["006:045"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Standards and Technology"}, "references": ["https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1214", "https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.1197"], "theme": ["Resilience:Community resilience"], "title": "EDGe$ (Economic Decision Guide Software) Tool  (Beta)"}
