Institutions of higher learning and their surrounding communities depend on each other to prepare for disasters and reduce potential losses of life and property. Universities and colleges can provide the expertise, technical resources, and research support that communities need to improve their resistance to hazards. At the same time, communities that reduce their vulnerability to hazards and develop strong emergency management plans offer a safer and more secure environment for local colleges and universities.
