VISION

To provide students and faculty, professionals and homeland security personnel, and affected citizens with capabilities to assess the effects of natural hazards on coastal infrastructure, the conditions of existing structures, and rehabilitation alternatives to mitigate future damage and potential risks.

MAIN GOALS

  • Develop and offer formal and informal education through courses, workshops, seminars,

lectures and other educational means leading to advance knowledge on the state of practice on Resiliency of Coastal Infrastructure (built and natural).

  • Strengthen the pipeline of students and professionals into RCI careers and pracVce.
  • Help the community understand beXer various stages in coastal infrastructure hazard:
  • prevenVon, preparedness, response, recovery, and miVgaVon.
  • Create a Certificate in Resiliency of Coastal Infrastructure (RCI).

Project Relevance to DHS S&T Mission

  • Aligns with research theme “Building Resilient CommuniVes”
  • Contributes to “Planning for a Disaster Resilient Future” ,

“CommunicaVng Risk to MoVvate AcVon”, “Flood Risk CommunicaVon”, and “Whole Community Approach”.

Impact of Project

  • Provide educated, updated, qualified, and competent individuals, students, professionals,

first responders, and officials from minority popula.on who will be capable and mo.vated to engage, par.cipate, and serve in the “Whole Community Approach”.

Strengthen NaVonal Preparedness and Resilience

(Goal 5.2 Mission 5 – MiVgate Hazard and Vulnerability)

  • Promote public and private sector awareness and understanding of community-specific risks
  • Reduce vulnerability through standards, regula.ons, resilient design, effec.ve mi.ga.on and

disaster risk measures; and

  • Prevent incidents by establishing, and ensuring compliance with, standards and regula.ons.
