A Clearinghouse on Natural Hazards Research and Applications

该奖项是为了重新支持位于博尔德的科罗拉多大学的自然灾害研究和应用信息中心。该中心监测和传播危害研究信息给多个用户——管理员、从业者、政策制定者和科学家。中心每年出版发行6期《自然灾害观察》，面向9000多名订户，出版专著、工作文件、参考书目和专题出版物。它每年举办一次涉及危害研究的使用者和生产者的讲习班，并根据询问提供资料。该中心开展与社会对自然灾害反应有关的适度研究活动，并支持全国各地的研究人员对特定灾害事件进行“快速反应”研究。

This award is for renewed support for the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The Center monitors and disseminates hazards research information to multiple users--administrators, practitioners, policy makers, and scientists. The Center publishes and distributes the Natural Hazards Observer to over 9,000 subscribers 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 it 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 it supports researchers throughout the nation as they carry out "quick response" studies of specific hazard events.
