Center for Rebuilding Sustainable Communities after Disasters

at the University of Massachusetts Boston

Collaborations across the Globe We collaborate closely with practitioners, academics, researchers, policy makers, and grassroots organizations in their search for the most appropriate and sustainable ways to rebuild their communities after disasters.
Providing Expertise for Sustainable Reconstruction after Disasters Established in July 2008, CRSCAD is the only institution of its kind dedicated to raising awareness and offering expertise on post-disaster reconstruction. Part of our mission is dedicated to serving vulnerable populations.
Partnerships with FEMA and Other Stakeholders CRSCAD works in partnership with government agencies such as the United States Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency, non-governmental organizations, community-based grassroots groups, for profit, and nonprofit entities in the U.S. and worldwide.
