Workshop on the Mitigation of Natural and Man-made Hazards

该项目将汇集一批通过研究自然和人为危害而产生的知识和信息的选定用户群体。与会者将介绍他们对未来研究活动的需求和优先事项的看法。除其他外，他们将讨论以下问题：(A)他们发现哪些研究是有用的，为什么？(B)他们是如何得知有益研究的结果的？(C)他们是否分享了这一信息，如果是，如何分享以及与谁分享？(D)未来哪些研究对他们的专业工作最有用？(E)这种研究的结果应以什么形式提出和传播？工作组将由联邦、州和地方管理人员、行政人员、规划者和其他负责美国备灾和减灾的人员组成。研讨会将在乔治华盛顿大学举行，由科学、技术和公共政策研究生项目的工作人员组织和指导。P.I.在备灾、减灾和应急领域备受推崇，有资格开展这一项目。建议设立一个奖项。

This project will bring together a selected group of users of knowledge and information generated by research on natural and man-made hazards. Participants will present their views on the needs and priorities for future research activities. They will address, among others, the following questions: (a) What research have they found useful and why? (b) How did they learn about the results of the useful research? (c) Did they share this information and, if so, how and with whom? (d) What future research would be most useful for their professional work? (e) In what form should the results of such research be presented and disseminated? The working group will consist of Federal, State and local managers, administrators, planners and other persons responsible for disaster preparedness and mitigation in the U.S. The workshop will take place at the George Washington University, organized and conducted by staff of the Graduate Program of Science, Technology and Public Policy. The P.I. is well respected in the field of disaster preparedness, mitigation and response and is qualified to carry out this project. An award is recommended.
