Management of Disaster Risk and Societal Resilience (MADIS) is an internationally-funded project through Belmont Forum and EPSRC. With our project partners at Pennsylvania State University (), the University of Sao Paulo (Professor Adelaide Nardocci) and local collaborators in Africa, we will improve our insights into the interaction and interdependencies between different risk, resilience and vulnerability indices and their relationship to the impacts of droughts and evolution of infrastructure systems.
