Prolonged ice storms, tornados, pandemic flu, violence in schools, floods, droughts, high impact transportation crashes, and wildfires are just a few of the poignant reminders that risks and crises threaten our communities. Managing information about these risk and crises poses overwhelming challenges for individuals, families, and communities.
The Center for Risk and Crisis Management is a University Research Center based on the need for a broader, more systemic and interdisciplinary approach for understanding how communities manage risks and crises. The Center for Risk and Crisis Management serves as the nexus for the next generation of research and education for promoting community safety and health.
As an interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Risk and Crisis Management is engaged in research and projects across the campus and around the world.
