Resilience and Disaster Preparedness
Disruptive events like storms, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, and terrorist attacks threaten the functioning of society and the well-being of individuals. Overarching trends like climate change and the growing complexity and interdependency of critical infrastructures lead to additional systemic risks. Our research aims to enable both people and socio-technical systems to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from such events. We use resilience as a concept to develop research and strategies that heighten coping capacity.
