Geography 458/558: Internet Resources

==========
[ * ] U.S. Geological Survey Natural Hazard Gateway
A portal to USGS data, educational resources, fact sheets, and Federal resources about earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes, and wildfires.

[ * ] California Governor's Office of Emergency Services Hazard Hazard Mitigation Web Portal
A portal to Cal OES information on earthquakes, floods, landslides, tsunami, fires, and other hazards and mitigation resources.

[ * ] Disaster Grads listserver
Disaster Grads is an e-mail listserver for informal discussion and information sharing among undergraduate and graduate students who are doing research in the area of hazards and disasters. The discussion list lets you contact other students with similar interests and ask them for support and resources. Subscribers from around the world include students who are enrolled in many institutions and a variety of departments and graduate programs, such as geography, engineering, public health, sociology, and economics. To subscribe, send an e-mail to listproc@lists.colorado.edu with the message, "subscribe disaster_grads [first name] [last name]" (Example: subscribe disaster_grads John Doe). Be sure to start your message in the leftmost part of the first line. Do not include a carriage return or any other text except this one command. Questions can be sent to the list manager at christine.bevc@colorado.edu.

[ * ] HazLit Database
Hazlit is the library database of the Boulder Natural Hazards Research and Applications Center. It is easily searchable online and results in articles and books, which you can then find in our library or via interlibrary loan. Some of the sources are online, and hyperlinks are provided to them.

[ * ] Disasters by Design -- A Bibliography
This bibliography is a collection of citations to the academic literature supporting the summary volume of the Second National Assessment of Research on Natural Hazards. This volume is Dennis Mileti's Disasters by Design: A Reassessment of Natural Hazards in the United States (Washington, DC: Joseph Henry Press, 1999) and, to keep it to a manageable length and accessible to lay readers, politicians, and practitioners, the bibliography was only published online.
