About the Workshop

The Institute for Hazards Mitigation Planning and Research (IHMP) will be holding a series of workshops bringing planners, scientists, emergency managers, student and faculty together to improve communication and exchange ideas.  We hope these discussion will also lead to increased understanding along with student theses, dissertations and research.
