Our Shifting Focus / Policy Studies
Cuny Center Studies Solutions for Disaster Response
WEB Reference, Jan. 2005 (The Cuny Center) - The Cuny Center is a non-profit research and educational institute that conducts research and develops practical solutions to address the needs of societies affected by disasters and complex emergencies…. When war, famine, or earthquakes strike, the world community often responds with an outpouring of financial and human resources. Contrary to the intention, too often the use of these resources impedes recovery and causes economic hardship and political turmoil. The Cuny Center seeks to identify the best strategies, practices, and approaches that lead instead towards the reconstruction of a society better prepared to prevent, mitigate and respond to future crises. http://www.thecunycenter.org/about.html .
