The International Society for the Prevention and Mitigation of Natural Hazards (the Natural Hazards Society-NHS) was established in August 1988 with several major objectives:
- •
to promote research in all aspects of natural hazards;
- •
to assist in the distribution of preparedness and emergency response plans for countries around the world; and
- •
to assist in the formation and implementation of education programmes on hazards prevention and mitigation.
The society hosts a global conference, supports other meetings, and publishes a journal and newsletter. This Web site includes details about the organization and the world conference, as well as an online edition of the society newsletter.
