National Center for Disaster Preparedness

The National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) is a research organization that studies how communities, governments, and organizations can better prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and pandemics. It aims to improve strategies, policies, and practices to reduce risks and enhance resilience. By analyzing past events and simulating future scenarios, NCDP helps stakeholders make informed decisions to protect lives, property, and vital systems during emergencies. Its work supports a more coordinated and effective approach to disaster management across the United States.
