The Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center (HRRC) is an interdisciplinary disaster and hazard center housed under the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. It is the first academic center in the nation dedicated to vulnerability reduction and long-term recovery and is one of only two United Nations (UN-OCHA) joint centers in the world that functions as a research and consultancy institution. The HRRC’s educational activities include a nonprofit collaboration to increase climate justice, public health, and urban planning in high school emergency management training in Southeast, TX, as well as interdisciplinary integration in postsecondary disaster and hazard courses and research projects. The HRRC is involved in an array of outreach, primarily focusing on research dissemination to practitioners and public audiences.
