This project institutionalizes the Graduate Certificate Program in Disaster Resilient Policy, Engineering and Design at NC State. Key tasks designed to achieve this aim include: 1) conducting a design studio in a North Carolina community focused on identifying the best uses of open space post-buyout, and 2) continuing the analysis of the national survey of State Hazard Mitigation Officers and the comparative study of innovative housing acquisition programs in the United States, New Zealand and Australia.
