Center For Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience Statement on Myanmar Earthquake

BETHLEHEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- People are the most important component of resilience. Researchers at Lehigh University’s Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience are closely monitoring the tragedy unfolding in Southeast Asia.

“We can and must do better. Modeling drives resilience by providing a virtual environment to simulate catastrophic scenarios before deadly, real-world disasters like we see now in Myanmar,” said Paolo Bocchini, Director of the Center for Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience. “We need to unite the next generation of researchers in engineering, hazard, climate, and social sciences today to prepare for tomorrow – because tomorrow is now.”
