How can public- and private-sector institutions better coordinate to respond to large-scale disasters? The Center for Catastrophic Risk Management (CCRM) is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary solutions to avoid and mitigate the impacts of catastrophic events. Among the CCRM's signature initiatives is the Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure Networks (RESIN) project, which was launched in 2008 with a mandate to develop new approaches to improve resilience and sustainability in critical infrastructure systems.
