The Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform (SARCOP) connects all levels of disaster response to increase speed, efficiency, and save lives.
Our Earth system is facing a multitude of challenges across a variety of threat vectors. Identifying, characterizing, quantifying, and addressing these risks remains difficult. Threats like climate change pose existential risks but are not well understood from an integrated systems and safety and security perspective. This paper will cover a few themes that should drive our thinking and research agenda on resilience, disaster preparedness, and climate change and be factored into our calculus going forward.
S&T and the Coastal Resilience Center are researching ways to enhance disaster resilience in socially vulnerable communities.
Last week, S&T joined colleagues from NOAA, NASA, and the National Weather Service for an immersive extreme weather risk and preparedness workshop at the University of Oklahoma’s National Weather Center.
With the newly-launched Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard, S&T’s Coastal Resilience Center is preparing local governments for hurricane season—and beyond.
As the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season opens, learn about an S&T collaborative tool that will help agencies conduct more effective and efficient response operations.
DHS S&T announced a contract award to G&H International Services, Inc. to design, develop and implement a Community Lifeline Status System for FEMA to assist in helping emergency management organizations establish standardized and integrated systems to the already existing Community Lifeline Construct.
To better prepare for natural disasters, the S&T-funded Coastal Resilience Center (CRC) is reaching out across communities especially vulnerable to natural hazards.
This R&D Impacts Update showcases how investments in science and technology are enhancing the nation’s resilience and ability to adapt to current and projected emerging threats, including wildfires, floods, and hurricanes.
