Fla. to Get Disaster Think Tank

December 23, 2007

Developing techniques for responding to hurricanes, tornadoes and other disasters will be the focus of a new think tank at the Florida Institute of Technology.

Public and private agencies that met recently at a national disaster conference organized by the Space Coast school announced plans to open the National Center for Preparedness in March.

Clifford Bragdon, dean of University College at Florida Tech, will head the center.
