As the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) notes, "Every year in the United States, natural hazards threaten lives and livelihoods and result in billions of dollars in damage. We work with many partners to monitor, assess, and conduct targeted research on a wide range of natural hazards so that policymakers and the public have the understanding they need to enhance preparedness, response, and resilience." In the spirit of promoting public awareness, the USGS offers this in-depth website dedicated to natural hazards. Featured scholarly publications, data, and news stories may be of interest to science instructors, researchers, and members of the general public alike. On the site's homepage, visitors will find summaries of the latest research developments at USGS. Those interested in more detailed information may want to check out the Science and Publications sections, respectively. There is also a variety of photographs and mobile phone applications (most aimed at weather and natural hazard awareness) in the Multimedia section.
