Building Resilient Communities.

Catalog description

Trying to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate disasters using our current approach based on yesterday's disasters is insufficient as disasters from all agents become more frequent, intense, and disruptive. Student will work closely with an external organization and Subject Matter Expert (SMEs) to establish the disaster context of a key resilience problem and propose a feasible solution. Student will apply foundational knowledge from previous coursework, critical research, and collaborative solution creation in service to our external partner. Dual-listing: DREM 430 .
