Greetings and welcome to beta launch of the Resilience Engineering Institute (REI) website.
We created REI with a vision of democratizing resilience knowledge for the benefit of public health, safety, and well-being. Our mission is to refine resilience concepts and make resilience knowledge accessible to anyone and everyone. This website is our primary method for achieving this mission by sharing resilience knowledge with the public and providing tools and resources for research and industry experts. We welcome feedback and critique for improving our website towards these goals.
The website is structured to provide a wide range of research, resources, and news to help people from all education and industry backgrounds learn about resilience.
For those new to resilience engineering and REI, please check out our About section. Here we overview resilience, the resilience engineering field, the institute, and who we are. After reading this section, you should have a much better idea of what resilience is and what we are trying to do than when you first landed at our website.
For those seeking more detailed descriptions of resilience concepts and cutting edge ideas, please check out our Research section. Here we offer descriptions of seminal work and influential resilience books presenting core theory, ideas, and case studies. We also offer a resilience library of references from other disciplines to facilitate discussion across applications.
Anyone looking to reach the broader resilience engineering world, will want to check out our Resources section. Here we offer resilience links to connect you to established scholars, organizations, and research tools. We provide a information about active research funding opportunities to help fund your new idea, a summary of career opportunities to jump-start your foray into the resilience world. An events calendar identifies conferences and workshops where you can meet resilience experts worldwide.
Our News section grounds resilience theory in practical applications that will be useful to those wanting to know why resilience matters. Here we collect live RSS feeds for global disaster alerts, federal agencies, and critical infrastructure sectors to show the most up-to-date crisis events and response across the globe.
For information about current events at REI, please check out our Blog. Here we will keep you up-to-date on the organization and present new ideas by partners and associates.
Finally, for individuals seeking guidance on how to become a resilience professional or organizations who wish to be more resilient, please contact us! We plan to structure REI as a non-profit 501(c)-3 organization to support resilience related needs and initiatives across academia and industry. We offer professional training and analysis by established resilience scholars to build local capabilities. We welcome partnerships and alliances to expand our understanding of resilience and enrich our offerings.
We invite you to join us to help democratize resilience engineering knowledge.
