Description: This course employs the FEWSION for Community Resilience (F4R) process and a related curriculum to engage students in collecting data on the physical structure and stakeholder networks of their local critical infrastructure Food, Energy, and Water (FEW) systems in Flagstaff. Students will network with community leaders and stakeholders, NGO's, private sector FEW businesses, utilities, emergency managers, and volunteers who contribute to the successful operation of the system.
