for Disaster Studies (IDS) brings together state and national experts
in natural, technological and man-made hazards to:
• Conduct,
facilitate and disseminate research on planning
for preparation, response,
management, recovery and mitigation from disasters;

education and training on all aspects of
emergency management; and
