"Partnerships with state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies affect DHS's ability to identify threats and bolster preparedness before an accident; they also affect our ability to work with first responders and assist a community's recovery after an incident.  The information we gather, the funding we grant, and the training and assistance we provide are all more valuable in securing our Nation if DHS's relationships with the involved state and local agencies are strong."

Secretary Janet Napolitano, 25 Feb 2009

The Community and Regional Resilience Institute operates across the full continuum of prevention, protection, response and recovery to enhance the resilience of communities and regions to significant disruptions to their infrastructure, economic and social systems.

The Community and Regional Resilience Institute is organized into five divisions as depicted below. It is available now to assist communities, leaders and policy makers at all levels to understand and implement policies and procedures that protect citizens, communities and regions against severe disruptions by enhancing their resilience, increasing their ability to respond and recover quickly, effectively and efficiently.

 

The Community and Regional Resilience Institute is a major effort of The Southeast Region Research Initiative (SERRI) supported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and operated by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in conjunction with a variety of other federal, regional, state, and local partners.
