The mission of the Disasters Roundtable is to facilitate and enhance communication and the exchange of ideas among scientists, practitioners, and policy makers in order to identify emerging issues related to natural, technological, and other types of disasters. To accomplish this objective, the Roundtable convenes three workshops a year which provide a forum for discussion on issues related to the understanding and mitigation of disasters.In terms of intellectual merit, the Roundtable brings together scientific and technical experts on hazards and disasters to identify, discuss, and advance issues that require regional, national, and global attention. Multidisciplinary scientific groups are involved in the discussions, reflecting the nature of the risks posed by hazards and disasters to society and the areas of knowledge that must be advanced to counter such risks. In terms of broader impacts, the Roundtable is a neutral meeting ground for scientists, practitioners, and policy makers to exchange information and ideas. It also provides a venue to increase the public's understanding of critical issues related to hazard vulnerability and the science and engineering associated with hazard mitigation, and disaster preparedness, response and recovery.

灾害圆桌会议的使命是促进和加强科学家、从业人员和决策者之间的沟通和思想交流，以确定与自然、技术和其他类型灾害有关的新问题。 为了实现这一目标，圆桌会议每年举办三次讲习班，为讨论与了解和减轻灾害有关的问题提供一个论坛，就知识价值而言，圆桌会议汇集了危害和灾害方面的科学和技术专家，以确定、讨论和推动需要区域、国家和全球关注的问题。 多学科科学团体参与了讨论，反映了危害和灾害对社会构成的风险的性质，以及为应对这些风险必须推进的知识领域。就更广泛的影响而言，圆桌会议是科学家、从业人员和政策制定者交流信息和想法的中立会议场所。 它还提供了一个场所，以提高公众对与灾害脆弱性有关的关键问题以及与减灾、备灾、救灾和灾后恢复有关的科学和工程的认识。
