Abstract
Local communities in Puerto Rico continue to face unprecedented social, environmental, and economic challenges that prevent them from rebuilding the infrastructure damaged by recent extreme natural events. The UPRM Coastal Resilience Center’s (CRC) goal is to help educate the community by transferring state of practice knowledge to stakeholders (students, faculty, professionals, first responders, and workforce) through formal (curriculum, internships, student projects, undergraduate research) and informal (workshops, seminars, lectures, short courses, webinars) learning experiences. This paper focuses on the CRC goal of continuing to support the multi-hazard capacity building (MHCB) by developing a web-based interactive learning hub (IL-HUB).
