Academic Partnership Program Reports


The Applied Research and Information Sharing (ARIS) Academic Partnership Program (APP) works in collaboration with students and faculty from universities around the globe on collaborative Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (DMHA) research efforts. The following reports were created by the fellows participating in the current academic year fellowship. Reports from previous years can be found below under “Archives.”

The reports were prepared by research fellows ranging from Master’s level, post-graduate students, and professional level interns participating in the ARIS Academic Partnership Program. The reports have been prepared in good faith based on resources available at the time of publication. Information was gathered from the public domain, from local and government sources, and from subject matter experts. While making every attempt to ensure the information is relevant and accurate, the Center for Excellence in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (CFE-DM) does not guarantee or warrant the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or currency of the information in this publication.
