Abstract: Abstract As the federal government began in the months following the 9–11 attacks to allocate funds for catastrophe preparedness research and program development, New York University’s Office of Federal Grants obtained a congressional allocation to fund a project that was envisioned as: one center in a critical location that could work closely with New York City and State, as well as the federal government, to look beyond the terrorist attacks and advise on how to best prepare for such future emergencies, catastrophes and disasters. (NYU Press Release, 2002)
