Testimonials
- “The All Hazards Consortium provides academic institutions with immediate access to critical decision-makers in all aspects of the "All Hazards World". Researchers and educators need to have trusted relationships with government personnel responsible for administering homeland security and emergency management programs. Through these relationships, researchers and educators can better understand the problems to be addressed, the curricular content necessary to prepare the next generation of leaders, and have a reality test bed for research solutions that might otherwise be less responsive. Through the work of the AHC, researchers and their Federal, corporate, or foundation sponsors can find opportunities to validate the need for research important to our country's improved all hazard prevention, preparation, response, mitigation, and recovery.” David J.
