A Clearinghouse on Natural Hazards Research and Applications

该奖项为科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的自然灾害研究和应用信息中心提供了新的支持。该中心向多个用户--管理员、从业者、政策制定者和科学家--传播危害研究信息。该中心每年六次出版并向8,000多人或机构分发《自然灾害观察家》，并出版专著、工作论文、书目和专门出版物。它每年举办一次研讨会，由危害研究的使用者和生产者参加，并根据询问提供日常信息。该中心开展与社会对自然灾害的反应有关的适度研究活动，并支持全国各地的研究人员对具体的灾害事件进行“快速反应”分析。除了NSF，该中心还得到了联邦应急管理局、NOAA、NIMH、EPA、USGS和工程师队伍的支持。

This award provides renewed support for the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Center disseminates hazards research information to multiple users-administrators, practitioners, policy makers, and scientists. The Center publishes and distributes the Natural Hazards Observer to over 8,000 persons or institutions six times a year, and publishes monographs, working papers, bibliographies and special publications. It holds an annual workshop involving users and producers of hazards research, and provides information on a day- to-day basis in response to inquiries. The Center conducts modest research activities relating to societal response to natural hazards and supports researchers throughout the nation as they carry out "quick response" analyses of specific hazard events. In addition to NSF, the Center also receives support from FEMA, NOAA, NIMH, EPA, USGS, and the Corps of Engineers.
