Prof. Tormos-Aponte wins NCAR grant

Focus on weather disaster-related social vulnerability

Public Policy Professor Fernando Tormos-Aponte has won an NSF-sponsored award through the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).  

Through the grant, Dr. Tormos-Aponte will examine political drivers, dynamics, and consequences of social vulnerability to weather disasters, including the link between weather-related power outages and mortality.  Insights from this research will inform decision-making about allocation of disaster response resources.
