IN HARM'S WAY

An Ounce of Disaster Prevention is Worth Tons of Disaster Relief

How In Harm's Way Started

After a devastating tsunami claimed the lives of more than 280,000 in 2004, Brigham Young University Professor Ron Harris knew his simple geologic outreach approach could prevent disasters like this from happening again.

Our Approach

Risk Assessment

Our geohazards research and monitoring in populated regions threatened by nature provides ways to predict who is most at risk. 

Risk Communication

We work with local community leaders and educators to communicate risk to those in harm's way.

Risk reduction

We help local communities to implement natural hazard risk reduction strategies. Our efforts have saved over 10,000 lives.

We research geohazards and monitor them in populated regions that are especially susceptive to these disasters in order to predict who is most at risk.
