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.

该奖项为自然危害研究和应用信息中心提供了新的支持。 该中心的基本功能是作为危害研究与从业者社区之间的桥梁。 该中心监视并将危害研究信息传播给多个用户：管理人员，从业人员，政策制定者，工程师和科学家。 该中心每年将自然危害观察者发布并分发给13,300多名订户；经营电子通讯，灾难研究；并通过万维网和传统的硬拷贝出版物传播信息。 它举办了一个年度研讨会，涉及危害研究的用户和生产者，并且每天提供有关查询的信息。 该中心开展了与自然危害的社会反应有关的研究活动，并且在对特定危害事件的“快速响应”研究时，它支持全国各地的研究人员。 除NSF外，其他为此活动提供支持的机构还包括FEMA，USGS，USDA，NOAA，DOT和工程兵团。
