PDF files of each report published by the three earthquake resilience planning initiatives were converted to ASCII text, cleaned, and compiled into a single text file containing all reports in chronological order (e.g., spur.txt). The recommendations from each report were extracted separately, as well, and placed in separate files for each initiative (e.g., spur_recs.txt)
The original reports can be found at the following URLs:
SPUR Resilient City:

Resilience Washington State:

Text analysis and visualization was done using Python 3.5 and the Python library NLTK. The code is included in the included Jupyter Notebook (plan_text_analysis.ipynb).
