CREATE - The Nation's First Homeland Security Center

Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Threats and Emergencies

Reducing Threats, Mitigating Emergencies, Building Resilience

As the Department of Homeland Security's first University Center of Excellence, CREATE serves our nation through creation of advanced models and tools for the evaluation of the risks, costs and consequences of threats to human livelihood and through assessment of strategies to mitigate risks and respond to emergencies. CREATE's approach is integrated, holistic and impartial, providing independent assessment of hazards, both malevolent and unintentional, including terrorism, accidents, and naturally occurring events.
