Our Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience at Lehigh University proudly spent October 1-2, 2025 attending the ARISE-US conference in Providence, RI. This was a key event for the US Chapter of the United Nations Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) ARISE Global Network.
This year’s conference: Building Connections for Resilient Communities, was co-hosted by FM at their prestigious FM Research Campus and it brought together private sector, non-profits, academia, and government to facilitate collaboration around disaster risk reduction.
Thank you to all the organizers and FM for hosting such an informative and well-run event! We’re looking forward to building on the partnerships and ideas sparked at the conference!
