At the Institute for Disaster Management, we believe that research informs practice, and practice informs research. This is why our diverse team of experts takes a multidisciplinary approach to disaster and public health research. Our research focuses on conceptual frameworks to combat new and emerging threats along with disaster policy, modeling, education, and training.
The Institute for Disaster Management seeks to reduce casualties, infrastructure and environmental damages, and social disruptions due to natural, technological, and human-made disasters. IDM has subject matter expertise in risk analysis, planning, training, and the development of response capabilities to better prepare practitioners in the United States and abroad.
