FEATURED PROJECTS
Ending Drought Emergencies
Using satellite and cellular connected sensors we are presently monitoring the water supplies of over a million people in arid Kenya and Ethiopia, expanding to over five million in 2018 and linking this data to regional water service providers and national policy makers in an effort to improve water services and drought resilience.
Infrastructure Resilience and Disaster Recovery
Despite efforts to improve community resilience to disasters, over the past 25 years the number and economic impact of natural disasters has increased each year. At the same time, little research has been done to evaluate the pre-disaster conditions that enable community recovery afterwards.
Associate Professor Amy Javernick-Will and her students focus on this increasingly vital aspect of community development.
