About the Program
In this webinar, three RAND researchers will discuss their work exploring the effect of disasters on education. Isaac Opper will discuss his work looking at how disasters affect human capital; Julia Kaufman will discuss how COVID-19 has impacted education; and Shelly Culbertson will address the impact of hurricanes on education in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The presentation will be followed by a moderated question and answer session.
This event is presented by the Disaster Management & Resilience Program (DMR) of the RAND Homeland Security Research Division (HSRD). The DMR webinar series was created to increase understanding of how disaster policies can affect the ability of communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
