All disasters are local but implementing a hyperlocal response in the midst of a public health emergency is challenging. The availability of neighborhood-level qualitative data that are both timely and relevant to evolving objectives and operations is a limiting factor. In 2020, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) responded to the COVID-19 emergency using a novel, hyperlocal approach. Key to the implementation of this approach was the creation of the Community Assessment to Inform Rapid Response (CAIRR), a process for rapid collection and analysis of neighborhood-specific, objective-focused, qualitative data to inform tailored response operations. This paper describes the process of developing the CAIRR and its contribution to the NYC DOHMH's hyperlocal response in order to guide other jurisdictions seeking to employ a hyperlocal approach in future disaster responses.
所有灾害都是局部性的，但在公共卫生紧急情况下实施超本地化响应具有挑战性。及时提供与目标和行动不断变化相关的邻里层面的定性数据是一个限制因素。2020 年，纽约市卫生局（NYC DOHMH）使用新颖的超本地化方法应对 COVID-19 紧急情况。实施这种方法的关键是创建社区评估以提供快速响应（CAIRR），这是一个快速收集和分析特定于邻里、以目标为重点的定性数据的过程，以提供定制的响应操作。本文描述了开发 CAIRR 的过程及其对 NYC DOHMH 超本地化响应的贡献，以指导其他司法管辖区在未来的灾害应对中寻求采用超本地化方法。
