Project Overview

This project is advancing the theory and measurement of economic resilience – how businesses utilize remaining resources as efficiently as possible in the aftermath of a disaster to maintain functionality. The work will also provide new insights and transition products that can be utilized by DHS and other agencies to strengthen the resilience of our critical infrastructure and provide more efficient planning for disaster and risk management.
