A key limitation of models of social vulnerability to environmental hazards is that they are often developed without explicit controls for how individuals fare in emergencies and disasters. Individuals (people, households) are central to the problem of social vulnerability assessment: they are the scale at which hazard exposures and impacts are directly felt. While population-level aggregates (i.e., median age, percent in poverty) are frequently used as proxies for individual-level hazard risk, conflating these scales can hold unintended consequences for the actionability of social vulnerability metrics. Population-level data is not an exact substitute for individual-level data: it often omits key details on the drivers and priorities among populations at risk during an emergency or disaster that are vital to planning/emergency response decision support. In response to this problem, this work develops new models that rely on individual-level, rather than population-level data as the initial point for measuring social vulnerability. This approach enables a more holistic understanding of social vulnerability that relays how individual experiences of hazards scale up to collective (population-level) concerns. This dissertation consists of three case studies. The first two, focused on the effects of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 in New York City, develop an ``Individual to Place" model of social vulnerability on census microdata that couples individual and population-level concerns to understand the social conditions underlying differential experiences of disasters. The third case study, which involves the 2011 North American Heat Wave in Houston, Texas, uses community-based survey data to understand how social conditions and practices directly influence individual-level hazard impacts (heat-related illness).
