CAREER: Integrated Moeling of Hazard Mitigation Stakeholder Networks for Compassionate, Sustainable Risk Reduction

This project develops, tests, and refines a new model which explicitly incorporates stakeholders' thoughts and emotions as factors that interact to enhance or constrain hazard mitigation decision-making. Contributions of the project include an improved process for more effective, sustainable hazard mitigation decision-making at the local level and expansion of a generation of hazard mitigation champions across multiple professional and academic disciplines. The integrated education and research program fosters dissemination of findings widely and cost-effectively, including to historically underrepresented populations.
