Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), NSF NHERI 2024:Understanding Social Vunerability and the Complexities of Homelessness in Natural Hazards and Disasters

This project is a free online training module available on CONVERGE to address the vulnerabilities of homeless populations in the context of natural hazards and disasters. It aims to enhance ethical practices in disaster management by focusing on the intersection of homelessness and social vulnerability. The data can be reused by educators, researchers, and practitioners for training or as a foundation for further studies. Its uniqueness lies in its focus on the often-overlooked ethical implications of homelessness in disaster contexts. The primary audience includes disaster researchers, emergency responders, and students in related fields.
