Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center

该奖项为科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的自然灾害研究和应用信息中心提供了新的支持。该中心监控危害研究信息并将其传播给多个用户--管理员、从业者、政策制定者、科学家和工程师。该中心每年6次出版并向10,000多名订阅者分发自然灾害观察者；经营电子时事通讯、灾害研究；出版专著、工作论文、书目和专门出版物。它每年举办一次研讨会，让危害研究的使用者和生产者参加，它还提供了日常信息，以回应询问。该中心开展与社会对自然灾害的反应有关的适度研究活动，并支持全国各地的研究人员进行对特定危险事件进行“快速反应”研究。除了国家科学基金会，其他几个机构也在支持这项活动。

This award provides 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, scientists and engineers. The Center publishes and distributes the NATURAL HAZARDS OBSERVER to over 10,000 subscribers six times a year; operates an electronic newsletter, DISASTER RESEARCH ; 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 supports researchers throughout the nation as they carry out "quick response" studies of specific hazard events. Inaddition to NSF, several other agencies are also supporting this activity.
