Toronto: As extreme weather and the likelihood of disasters increase, York University has opened its new state-of-the-art Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Advanced Disaster, Emergency and Rapid Response Simulation (ADERSIM) Lab, designed to act as an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), thanks to close to $3.5 million in private and public funds.
Philanthropist and York University alumnus Victor Dahdaleh and his wife Mona donated C$2 million through The Victor Dahdaleh Foundation towards construction, equipment and operating costs for the lab’s EOC. In addition, the Ontario Research Fund (ORF) through the Ministry of Colleges and Universities contributed C$1.45 million in initial funding.
