CMS 00-80977A Clearinghouse on Natural Hazards Research and ApplicationsMileti, Dennis S.University of Colorado, BoulderThis award supports continuation of support for the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder for the two-year period from October 2000 through September 2002. The Center's basic function, to serve as a bridge between the hazards research and practitioner communities in the United States, will not change. The Center will monitor and disseminate hazards research information to multiple users: administrators, practitioners, policy makers, engineers, and scientists of all disciplines. The Center will publish and distribute the Natural Hazards Observer to over 15,000 subscribers six times a year; operate an electronic newsletter, Disaster Research; and disseminate information via the World Wide Web and traditional hard copy publications. In addition, the Center will continue co-sponsorship of the Natural Hazards Review journal with the American Society of Civil Engineers and seek outside funding to produce and distribute issues of the Natural Hazards Informera publication series designed to synthesize state-of-the-art hazards knowledge so that it can be easily applied by practitioners. The Center will continue to build its library database, and information will be provided on a day-to-day basis in response to inquiries. The Center will sponsor an annual, national and international workshop involving users and producers of hazards research each year. It will also support social science research following disasters by funding researchers throughout the nation to carry out quick response studies of specific hazard events. The Center's in-house research program, which is largely funded with separate research grants, will focus on conducting research recommended in Disasters by Design: A Reassessment of Natural Hazards in the United States (Mileti, 1999) which presents the results of the Center's five-year research project taking stock of what is known and not known about natural hazards and examining the relationship of hazards to a sustainable society. In particular, the Center's research will address the issue of what, exactly, sustainable recovery from disasters entails.Facilitating and ensuring links among the highly diverse group of academicians and practitioners involved in sustainable hazards management remains the greatest challenge for, and the most significant result of, Center activities.The Center is co-funded by the National Science Foundation, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

CMS 00- 80977自然灾害研究和应用信息交流中心米莱蒂，丹尼斯S.科罗拉多大学，博尔德该奖项支持继续支持自然灾害研究和应用信息中心在博尔德的科罗拉多大学从2000年10月到2002年9月的两年期。该中心的基本职能，作为美国危害研究和从业者社区之间的桥梁，将不会改变。该中心将监测和传播危害研究信息给多个用户：管理员，从业人员，政策制定者，工程师和所有学科的科学家。该中心将每年六次向15 000多名订户出版和分发《自然灾害观察员》;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。此外，该中心将继续与美国土木工程师学会共同赞助《自然灾害评论》杂志，并寻求外部资金，以制作和分发《自然灾害信息》系列出版物，其目的是综合最新的灾害知识，以便从业人员能够轻松应用。该中心将继续建立其图书馆数据库，并将根据询问每天提供信息。该中心将每年主办一次由危害研究的用户和生产者参加的年度国家和国际讲习班。它还将通过资助全国各地的研究人员对特定灾害事件进行快速反应研究，支持灾害后的社会科学研究。该中心的内部研究计划主要由单独的研究赠款资助，将专注于进行设计灾难中推荐的研究：对美国自然灾害的重新评估（米莱蒂，1999年），它提出了该中心的五个结果-一个为期一年的研究项目，评估已知和未知的自然灾害，并审查灾害与可持续发展的关系。社会特别是，该中心的研究将解决的问题，究竟是什么，可持续恢复的灾害需要。促进和确保之间的联系，高度多样化的学者和从业人员参与可持续灾害管理仍然是最大的挑战，最重要的成果，中心的活动。该中心是共同资助的国家科学基金会，联邦应急管理局，美国国家航空航天局、美国陆军工程兵团、美国地质调查局、美国环境保护局、美国垦务局和美国交通部。
