Dr. Jennifer Horney, interim department head and associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, has been addressing public health-related issues following Hurricane Harvey.



Horney, a disaster preparedness expert, has previously conducted research on multiple public health disasters including Hurricanes Charley, Isabel, Katrina, Wilma and Irene.

Her research focuses on combining interdisciplinary collaborations, community-engaged research projects and high-impact service learning to help communities achieve resilience.



The data that she and her team of students collect will be useful to local, regional and state health departments in guiding public health interventions, such as mosquito abatement and health education campaigns.
