Building Pathways to Community Disaster Resilience

This research experience for undergraduates (REU) program aims to safeguard human and physical infrastructure against disasters. We use methods that center community needs and value local knowledge. By joining us, you will have the opportunity to investigate:

  • Disaster planning and preparation.
  • Rural and urban infrastructure challenges and solutions.
  • Resilience of water, energy, and transportation systems.

Support for this program comes from a Kansas NSF EPSCoR initiative known as ARISE, which stands for Adaptive and Resilient Infrastructures driven by Social Equity.
