DRU Project

Disaster Resilient Universities

The topic of disaster resilience is equally paramount: from wildfires to human-originated disasters (major accidents, crashes, infrastructural failure, etc), HEIs must be prepared to act timely in case of emergency and prove resilient in the aftermath. The Disaster-Resilient Universities (DRU) project is a timely and vital initiative to address the challenges posed by natural disasters and enhance preparedness, mitigation, and response capabilities within HEIs.
