The Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) Project was created to innovate the application of hazard science for the safety, security, and economic well-being of the nation. SAFRR helps build resilience to natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, wildfires, landslides, tsunamis, and coastal erosion by working with decision making and emergency response efforts across the nation.
