Assessment of Research and Applications on Natural Hazards

这项研究将评估 现有知识适用 自然科学知识领域 危险，例如， 科学、社会科学和 工程. 它将评估 的适用情况， 相关国家的知识 人类聚集的水平。 它 将决定研究和 应用程序优先级 普遍的背景现实 例如国家和全球趋势， 应用的潜力， 可能的收益，以及现有的 约束和激励。 这 是我们努力的第一阶段 并将举办一个研讨会， 确定正确的方向， 评估建议。

This research will take stock of existing knowledge in applicable fields of knowledge on natural hazards, for example, physical science, social science and engineering. It will assess the state of applications of that knowledge in the nation at relevant levels of human aggregation. It will determine research and applications priorities given prevailing contextual realities such as national and global trends, the potential for being applied, likely payoff, and existing constraints and incentives. This is the first phase of the effort and will involve a workshop to determine proper direction for the assessment proposed.
