About

Goals of the Center

• Provide resources to increase the contributions of academic research in the general fields of catastrophe modeling and disaster resilience.

• Advance research on CatModeling topics that are more easily addressed in academic settings, such as insurance equity, open platforms and data for catastrophe modeling, ethical implications of disasters and disaster research.

• Provide a venue where private sector, public sector, and academia can cultivate synergies and grow fruitful collaborations to make catastrophe models more accurate, reliable, effective, and make our communities more resilient to the threats they face.

• Serve as a hub for the interinstitutional Catastrophe Modeling Coordination Network which gathers other research teams in catastrophe modeling and resilience.

• Pioneer the development of academic courses and academic degree programs in catastrophe modeling and resilience.
