Natural-hazards-disasters is an e-mail discussion list and network for anybody with an interest in disasters and natural hazards. It provides a forum for sharing information and debating ideas; a member can use the network to inform others about useful publications and Web sites, to give notice of forthcoming events, to ask for advice, or to raise issues for discussion. Natural-hazards-disasters is multidisciplinary, and all natural hazards are covered, as are technological hazards. However, as the network's name suggests, the focus is as much on disasters as on the hazards that trigger them. This includes looking at the socioeconomic factors that make people vulnerable to disasters and at the capacities of communities and disaster management organizations to protect against disasters.
This e-mail discussion list is not moderated; messages are not edited before they are distributed to the members, but the coordinator can remove members if they abuse this service. To join, send a message to nwilbase@mailbase.ac.uk Leave the subject box blank and send the message "join natural-hazards-disasters [your first name, your last name]". You will receive an automatic reply telling you how to send messages and giving information on other utilities. The natural-hazards-disasters network is currently being coordinated by John Twigg (j.twigg@ucl.ac.uk) of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre, University College London, UK.

In the previous "On the Net" columns, it was mentioned that there was a new discussion list for persons interested in wind hazard mitigation and engineering. Well, the same folks that brought you that service have instituted additional new e-mail groups for flood hazards, ice/snow/hail hazards, and response and recovery issues. Members are welcome from all concerned disciplines. To join, a person should either enter his or her e-mail address into the membership form found at flood-haz-mit-subscribe@egroups.com or ice-snow-hail_haz-ndt-subscribe@egroups.com or response_recovery-subscribe@egroups.com
