Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center of the University of Pennsylvania

Established in 1985, the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center of the University of Pennsylvania develops and promotes effective public and private policies for dealing with a range of disaster risks. The Risk Center is a thought leader and a trusted source for independent analysis, workable tools, and implementable solutions. We are a voice for the public good, committed to resilience opportunities that benefit everyone. The Center achieves its vision through three broad groups of activities: (1) high-quality research, (2) our policy incubator, and (3) our outreach and translational work that better links research and practice through various bridging activities.
