Community & Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI)



The Community and Regional Resilience Institute is a major effort of The Southeast Region Research Initiative (SERRI) supported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and operated by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in conjunction with a variety of other federal, regional, state, and local partners.

The Community and Regional Resilience Institute (CARRI) is dedicated to research and practical application across the full continuum of prevention, protection, response and recovery to enhance the resilience of communities and regions. CARRI seeks to assist the nation in developing an accepted, common framework for community and regional resilience that integrates the full suite of community resources into a coherent resilience pathway so that the community can get back on its feet following a natural or man-made disaster as quickly as possible.
