A Clearinghouse on Natural Hazards Research and Applications

该奖项为科罗拉多大学的自然灾害信息中心提供了新的支持。该中心是一个研究信息交流中心，为自然灾害研究的生产者和使用者之间提供沟通渠道。该中心通过几项活动，进一步向研究人员、从业人员、政府政策制定者和管理人员等潜在用户传播信息。一年一度的危害研究研讨会在科罗拉多大学举行，参与者来自研究和用户社区。该中心的双月通讯《自然灾害观察家》重点介绍了研究项目和减灾项目的成果，并分发给数千人。该中心还出版了一系列关于危险研究主题的专著。在接下来的12个月期间，中心将继续其传播方案。它还将支持规模不大的项目，包括快速反应实地调查，这些项目将产生结果，并将传播给相关研究人员。

This award provides renewed support for the Natural Hazards Information Center at the University of Colorado. The Center serves as a research clearinghouse and provides channels of communication between producers and users of research on natural hazards. The Center furthers the dissemination of information to such potential users as researchers, practitioners, and government policy makers and managers through several activities. An annual hazards research workshop is held at the University of Colorado with participants from the research and user communities. The Center's bi-monthly newsletter, the "Natural Hazards Observer," highlights results from research projects and hazard mitigation programs and is distributed to several thousand persons. The Center also publishes a monograph series on hazards research topics. During the next 12 month period, the Center will continue its dissemination program. It will also support modest projects, including quick-response field investigations, that will produce results that will be disseminated to relevant researchers.
