The frequency of catastrophic flood events, amplified by climate change has increased
\nsubstantially in US Midwest (Neri et al., 2019; Reed et al., 2020). Flooding causes major
\neconomic and social damage in the region. Because community vulnerabilities increase flood
\nimpacts, vulnerability reduction is a crucial part of flood risk management. Many household
\nflood recovery projects often fail to address pre-existing community vulnerability, and in many
\nplaces the measurement of such reduction (if any) is difficult to identify.
\nThe objective of the project is to determine how flood recovery measures facilitate the reduction
\nof unmet needs in a flood affected community. These unmet needs can be social, physical, health
\nor economic. The case study is based on two research questions: RQ1) What are the unmet social
\nneeds of the flood exposed community? and RQ2) To what extent do flood mitigation measures
\naddress unmet social needs? The study area is the City of Dubuque, which provided data
