Mission
To enhance national resiliency to a full range of potential disasters by conducting research leading to innovative tools and applications that empower the homeland security and emergency management community through education, training, outreach and operational support. The Institute seeks to improve the emergency preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation activities for communities, supply chains and critical infrastructures that support our economy and our way of life.
Core Values
Collaborative public-private partnerships and enhanced disaster consequence models are essential to improve socio-economic disaster resiliency.

The Institute’s research team accomplishes its "national-scale” mission through research into public-private partnerships, establishing best-practice based linkages between the government and industry stakeholders at all levels and across all critical infrastructure sectors. The team focuses on analyses of critical infrastructure and supply chain interdependencies, in an overarching effort to minimize the loss of life and impact on economy.
-
The Institute’s technology development team leverages advanced supercomputing, visualization, GIS, and communications technologies to transform research into consequence models, what-if scenario simulations, and decision support tools that enable informed decision making under rapidly evolving and complex conditions.
-
The Institute’s operational support team strengthen strategic partnerships between key public and private entities in emergency management at all levels; mobilizes the Institute’s national scale public and private sector partners, including non-profit organizations, as well as the Institute’s R&D capabilities to support homeland security and emergency management practitioners.
