The Hazards Vulnerability & Resilience Institute (HVRI) is an interdisciplinary research
and training center focused on the development of spatial analytical information,
data, methods, and application for integrating hazard and climate information to advance
equitable planning and management and adaptive capacity in communities as they respond
to disaster risks and climate change. In addition to basic research, HVRI engages
with practitioners and communities to foster resilience and facilitates local, state,
and federal efforts to improve emergency preparedness, planning, and recovery by providing
technical assistance and translational products to foster evidentiary based policy
and practice.
