Welcome to the Ambassador Curriculum

The Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Ambassador Curriculum is the creation of Resilient Neighbors Network (RNN) peers and others in the NHMA leadership who recognize the need for information, knowledge of best practices, and analytic tools to enable better-informed decisions about the many facets of DRR.

Curriculum development is underway with continued NHMA member expertise and contractor support made possible by the FEMA CTP Grant.
