ABOUT THE LAB
The NYU GPH Complex Public Health Disasters (CPHD) Lab builds upon the momentum of the school’s Disaster Certificate Program and leverages the research of two GPH faculty members who are actively conducting public health disaster studies. The purpose of the Lab is to conduct cutting edge applied research to (1) identify best practices in disaster preparedness and response in essential work sectors, (2) minimize risk in vulnerable populations, including disabled, aged, marginalized and minority populations; and (3) improve our public health disasters preparedness strategies to increase resilience in essential workers, such as mass transit workers.
NYU GPH JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTERS
