The U.S. is vulnerable to a wide variety of natural, technological andhuman-induced hazards. While local decision-makers have the finalresponsibility for coping with the threat of disaster, federal agencies havedeveloped science-based activities, such as the National Earthquake HazardsReduction Program (NEHRP), that are intended to help further effectivedisaster reduction efforts in at-risk communities throughout the nation. TheNational Science Foundation (NSF) has been a major supporter of socialscience disaster research, including such research carried out as part of theNEHRP effort. The objective of this study is to provide NSF with a detailedappraisal of the short and long-term challenges facing the social sciencedisaster research community and new and emerging opportunities for advancingknowledge in the field and its application for the benefit of society. Thestudy is intended to provide a basis for planning future social science andmultidisciplinary research related to natural, technological and willfuldisasters in response to challenges and opportunities presented by a changingnation and world. A committee of distinguished experts in the field will beestablished to carry out the study.

美国容易受到各种自然，技术和人类引起的危害。 尽管当地决策者对应对灾难的威胁具有最终的应对性，但联邦机构将基于科学的活动（例如国家地震危害危害计划（NEHRP））提供了旨在帮助进一步的全国风险社区中的实施效应的努力。 当地科学基金会（NSF）一直是社会灾难研究的主要支持者，包括作为THEEHRP努力的一部分进行的此类研究。 这项研究的目的是为NSF提供有关社会科学研究社区所面临的短期和长期挑战的详细范围，以及在该领域推进知识及其对社会利益的应用的新的和新兴的机会。 Thestudy旨在为计划与自然，技术和故意的人相关的未来社会科学和跨学科研究提供基础，以应对改变和世界所带来的挑战和机遇。 该领域的杰出专家委员会将进行研究。
