Addressing Local, National and Global Needs Through Education and Research

Recent events in our nation and the world have focused attention on natural disasters, mass-casualty events and public-service disruptions resulting from terrorist threats, biological and chemical terrorism, war, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, volcano activity and major power-grid disruptions. Additionally, society faces an increasing number of accidents involving hazardous materials. All of these situations cause immense hardship to people, animals, the environment, physical structures and our public infrastructure. They have also served to shine new light on the problems of disaster preparedness by public safety and emergency-medical services (EMS) and public-health systems.

The need for a highly organized disaster-preparedness infrastructure and individuals with expertise in this area is now readily apparent to the government and private sector, with disaster emergency planning and management becoming an expanding area of study in medicine, emergency-medical services, public safety, mental health, public health and the military.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
