The Institute for Global and Community Resilience is part of WWU Huxley’s College of the Environment. It facilitates scholarship, education, and practice on reducing social and physical vulnerability through sustainable community development, as a way to minimize loss and enhance recovery from disasters in Washington State and its interdependent global communities.
In seeking to integrate Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development we focus on five key areas:
- Community Recovery
- Hazard Mitigation
- Food Security
- Social Vulnerability
- Risk Analysis & Communication
