Description: The adverse effects to human health of natural and
man-made disasters have been a national concern for many decades and
have led to a number of federal, state, and local efforts (primarily
response preparedness). Increasingly, however, disaster-related
research has focused on building the capacity and resilience of
individuals and communities to assist with recovery and prepare for
future disasters. This webinar will discuss various facets of
resilience, including the interaction of individual and community
resilience, the role of longstanding socioeconomic disparities, and
the importance of networking and capacity building.


The webinar will include three presentations:

"The Role of Individual and Community Resiliency in Post-Disaster Recovery"
Brian Mayer, Ph.D., University of Arizona

"Utilizing a Community Advisory Committee to Define Future Efforts of
the Healthy Gulf, Healthy Communities Project"
Tracy Irani, Ph.D., University of Florida
Samuel Mathews, Ph.D., University of West Florida

"Building Community and Worker Resilience in Response to Natural and
Man-Made Disasters"
Ebony Turner, Ph.D., Dillard University
