Abstract In this paper, a comprehensive community‐level model is developed advancing the use of agent‐based modeling for purpose community resilience planning. Agents to simulate businesses, healthcare system, and people are introduced, which utilized along with set agents education utilities, households create an Centerville testbed subjected tornado hazards. Resilience measures also introduced quantify its systems make it possible assess various strategies related pre‐disaster preparedness informed decision‐making. The results show capability proposed computational capture complex behaviors dynamics interdependent within evaluate impact disruptions on as well series (mitigation strategies) purposes Therefore, findings could provide new tool interested stakeholders decision‐makers assessing mitigation enhance recovery time community.
