This award provides renewed support for the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center. The Center's basic function is to serve as a bridge between the hazards research and practitioner communities in the United States. The Center monitors and disseminates hazards research information to multiple users: administrators, practitioners, policy makers, engineers, and scientists. The Center publishes and distributes the Natural Hazards Observer to over 13,300 subscribers six times a year; operates an electronic newsletter, Disaster Research; and disseminates information via the World Wide Web and traditional hard copy publications. It holds an annual workshop involving users and producers of hazards research, and it provides information on a day-to-day basis in response to inquiries. The Center conducts research activities relating to societal response to natural hazards and it supports researchers throughout the nation as they carry out `quick response` studies of specific hazard events. In addition to NSF, other agencies providing support for this activity include FEMA, USGS, USDA, NOAA, DOT, and the Corps of Engineers.

该奖项为自然灾害研究和应用信息中心提供了新的支持。 该中心的基本职能是充当美国危害研究和从业人员社区之间的桥梁。 该中心监测并向多个用户传播危害研究信息：管理员，从业人员，政策制定者，工程师和科学家。 该中心每年六次向13 300多个订户出版和分发《自然灾害观察家》;经营一份电子通讯《灾害研究》;并通过万维网和传统的硬拷贝出版物传播信息。 它每年举办一次讲习班，参加者包括危害研究的使用者和生产者，并根据询问提供日常信息。 该中心开展与社会应对自然灾害有关的研究活动，并支持全国各地的研究人员对具体灾害事件进行“快速反应”研究。 除了NSF之外，为这项活动提供支持的其他机构包括FEMA，USGS，USDA，NOAA，DOT和工程兵团。
