Description

The Center for Disaster and Risk Analysis (CDRA) at Colorado State University is dedicated to reducing the harm and losses caused by natural, technological, and human-caused disasters. Central to achieving this goal is learning how social inequality impacts the ability of marginalized groups to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disaster. CDRA staff conduct interdisciplinary research on natural hazards risk and disaster impacts; help prepare the disaster professionals of the future by teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students; and engage in outreach efforts geared to government, non-profit organizations, and private entities to improve disaster planning and response and to promote individual and community resilience.
