The Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center (HRRC) was established at Texas A&M University in 1988. HRRC researchers focus on hazard analysis, emergency preparedness and response, disaster recovery, and hazard mitigation. HRRC includes the expertise of architects, planners, sociologists, policy analysts, economists, landscape architects, and engineers. Our missions are: To increase our understanding of the nature and impact of natural and technological hazards upon humans and the physical and built environment in which they live, and to increase our knowledge regarding hazard mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. To enlarge the hazard research community through graduate student training, faculty development, and educational endeavors. To disseminate research findings to the research community and to practitioners so they can use this information to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. To provide assistance and consultation to those state, national and international agencies charged with responsibility for hazard analysis, emergency preparedness and response, disaster recovery, and hazard mitigations.

I was thrilled to host the Wildfire Mitigation in the U.S. South Workshop in Houston last week! Thanks to the tremendous support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), we were able to convene a group of expert practitioners to discuss the impacts of wildland fire in the growing wildland-urban interface (WUI) in the Southern United States, as well as unique challenges and solutions for wildfire mitigation in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Thank you very much to the many local and state stakeholders who attended and provided insightful perspectives from the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas A&M Forest Service, Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and more. Thank you also to the speakers, J. Carlee Purdum, Matthew Malecha, PhD, James Michael Tate, Xilei Zhao, Kate Thompson, and Gabriel Ural. We will continue to share updates regarding the project's progress! Hazard Reduction & Recovery Center Texas Target Communities TAMU Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning
