The vision of the Center for Hazards Assessment, Response & Technology at LSU New Orleans (LSU New Orleans-CHART) is to support applied research focusing on sustainability and resilience efforts and strategies in light of natural, technological, and environmental risks in the region and to collaborate with similar programs across the country. Through its applied research projects, it fulfills its mission to assist residents, local and state officials, and communities in understanding and reducing risk to hazards.LSU New Orleans-CHART's approach to sustainability and resilience is based on building community/university partnerships grounded on the principals of: (1) community/organizational collaboration and (2) building on community knowledge as well as scientific knowledge for both basic and applied research.LSU New Orleans-CHART's approach also considers student researchers as integral to all research projects. During the course of a project, students are involved in the day-to-day activities of LSU New Orleans-CHART projects as they conduct fieldwork, participate in community meetings, present at academic and professional conferences, and publish in academic journals. Much like the faculty and staff, the students represent various academic disciplines of LSU New Orleans.
