ALL HAZARDS

http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/informer/infrmr1/infrmrla.htm

Written by practitioners and researchers, each issue of the new Natural Hazards Informer from the Hazards Center is intended to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art information about a specific aspect of natural hazards research, policy, or management practice. For example, the inaugural issue, by floodplain management experts French Wetmore and Gil Jamieson, is entitled "Flood mitigation planning: the CRS approach".

The Informer is intended to be used by all persons interested in the mitigation of natural hazards and thus is being sent to all subscribers of the Hazard Center's regular printed newsletter, the Natural Hazards Observer. There is no need to subscribe separately to the Informer. The Observer and Informer are free to persons in the USA and cost $15 per year elsewhere. Subscriptions should be directed to the Hazards Center Publications Clerk, Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center, Campus Box 482, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309 0482.
