Technical Assistance Available to Academic Communities

Apply today for the newly launched Campus Resilience Pilot Program (CR Pilot) to enhance emergency preparedness and resilience plans for U.S. colleges and universities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) together with the Department of Education and the Department of Justice will work with state, local and private sector partners to engage colleges and universities to take proactive steps to improve campus readiness and resilience.

DHS will select six colleges or universities nationwide to pilot an emergency preparedness and resilience planning process. The CR Pilot will reach a diverse group of colleges and universities of various settings and sizes. Selected CR Pilot colleges and universities will have the opportunity to convene their campus leadership and students in facilitated community engagement work and receive technical assistance in assessing and further developing their own campus emergency and resilience plans.

Learn more about the CR Pilot here. All applications are due by Feb. 22, 2013.  The six college and university pilot sites will be announced in March 2013.
