DR. OLIVIA SCRIVEN
​
SUMMARY
This research project uses Hurricane Michael, a category 5 event which severely impacted counties of the Florida Panhandle, as a case study to examine FEMA engagement with colleges and universities in disaster recovery field operations. The study applies a mixed-methods approach to explore operational processes to identify, engage and leverage technical assistance from institutions of higher education to support disaster-impacted communities and stakeholder perceptions about those processes.
