Natural Disaster Reference Database (NDRD) - The Natural Disaster Reference Database (NDRD) is a
bibliographic database (maintained by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) on research, programs, and results which relate to the use of satellite remote sensing for disaster mitgation. The NDRD was compiled and abstracted from articles published since 1981. This database is no longer maintained but remains on-line as a useful resource for disaster researchers worldwide.

Natural Hazards Research Centre - The Natural Hazards Research Centre (NHRC) at Macquarie University, Sydney,
Australia provides quality research on natural hazards in the Australian-Pacific
area.
Interaction with sections of the insurance industry and the development of links
with government and other research organisations throughout the Australian and
Asian-Pacific region are priorities of the Natural Hazards Research Centre.

NOAA AOML Hurricane Research Division - The Hurricane Research Division (HRD) is a part of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA). HRD is NOAA's primary focus for studies of tropical cyclones and convective systems, with a mission to: 1) Improve forecasting through physical understanding of the structure and dynamics of tropical cyclones; 2) Conduct annual Hurricane Field Program using the two NOAA AOC WP-3D research aircraft and the new Gulfstream IV-SP operational aircraft; 3) Interact with the National Hurricane Center (NHC), the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in
research of numerical modeling of tropical cyclones; and 4) Participate in international tropical meteorological field programs and National research programs.

Ottawa Carleton Earthquake Engineering Research Centre - The objective of the Ottawa Carleton Earthquake Engineering Research Centre is to foster research in earthquake engineering as well as to bring together researchers from industry, government
agencies, and universities in the National Capital Region, who are active in the
field of earthquake engineering, and who have produced valuable research in that
area. The current concentration of earthquake engineering expertise in the broader
Ottawa region is quite diversified and has a distinct profile which makes it unique
in Canada.

Partnership for Natural Disaster Reduction HomeSaver Project - The Partnership for Natural Disaster Reduction and its principle
undertaking - the HomeSaver Project, supported by FEMA and the U.S.
Department of Energy is a cooperative effort among government,
universities, and industry to
discover proven, affordable, hazard-resistant remedies to make homes
and businesses safer in hazardous areas, including higher-risk ocean
or inland coastal regions.

Southern California Earthquake Center - The Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) brings
scientists together for joint research and problem solving to reduce earthquake
hazard in Southern California. The formal mission of the Center is to promote
earthquake hazard reduction by estimating when and where future damaging
earthquakes will occur, calculating the expected ground motion, and disseminating
that information to the public.

TOMS Volcanic SO2 Home Page - This web site describes research performed by the TOMS SO2 Group at the
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to detect, track and measure volcanic
eruption plumes from space.
This site also has information about volcano research, some eruption cloud
images and links to other WWW servers with information about volcanism.

U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP) - The U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP) is an interagency effort
supporting the research and technology development needed to improve
weather services. The overarching USWRP objective is to improve the
specificity, accuracy, and reliability of weather forecasts for
disruptive, high-impact weather. The program has established as its
initial focus a coordinated effort to determine the "best practicable
mix" of observations, data assimilation schemes, and forecast models
for operations beyond the year 2000. The National Science Foundation
(NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Office of Naval
Research (ONR) all participate in the USWRP.
