Council

“Disasters continue increasing in their scope, frequency, and magnitude – presenting an existential threat to our society’s welfare. With unparalleled talent housed across the UC’s ten campuses, 3 national labs, and six academic health centers, the world’s most powerful public research university can represent one of the most powerful resilience clusters in the world.

Janet Napolitano – former federal and state prosecutor; Arizona governor; the nation’s longest-serving Secretary of Homeland Security; and president of the University of California from 2013-2020.

Councillors representing all UC Campuses, Office of the President, National Labs, etc. comprise UC DRN’s governance body. This university-wide body meets quarterly.

Dr. LeRoy Westerling || CHAIR

LeRoy is Professor and Chair of Management of Complex Systems, and Director of Management, Innovation Sustainability and Technology programs, at UC Merced’s School of Engineering.  He is also affiliated with the Sierra Nevada Research Institute.  LeRoy’s research interests include:  applied climatology; climate-ecosystem-wildfire interactions; statistical modeling for seasonal forecasts; paleofire reconstructions and climate-change impact assessments; resource management and policy, and risk communication. He has coordinated development of long-term wildfire projection scenarios for all five California State Climate Assessments, including the current assessment. LeRoy serves on the Climate Working Group for NOAA’s Science Advisory Board.  Prof. Westerling holds a PhD from UC San Diego and BA from UCLA.

Sec. Janet Napolitano || CO-CHAIR

Secretary Napolitano is a Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the Founder and Faculty Director of the Center for Security in Politics at UC Berkeley. She served as the twentieth president of the University of California, the nation’s largest public research university with ten campuses, six medical centers, three affiliated national laboratories, and a statewide agriculture and natural resources program. Prior to joining the University of California, Professor Napolitano served as Secretary of Homeland Security from 2009 to 2013. She is a former two-term Governor of Arizona, a former Attorney General of Arizona, and a former U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona. In 2019, Napolitano published How Safe Are We? Homeland Security Since 9/11.  Professor Napolitano earned her B.S. degree, summa cum laude, in Political Science from Santa Clara University, and her J.D. from the University of Virginia. She is based in Berkeley, CA.
