Risk Management
In risk management we examine advanced models for prevention and protection of terrorist attacks. A major focus of CREATE is to develop models and tools that can be used to allocate resources based on risk reduction. Another focus is on the development of smart defensive strategies that randomize and disguise protective measures. We are also working on preparing for terrorists attacks, especially related to communicating with the public and deploying resources effectively.
