No human settlements are free from the risk of natural hazards, therefore it is vital that researchers and decision-makers have access to all available hazards information. Information needs are especially acute as we enter the 1990s, and we contemplate rising tolls from natural hazards worldwide. In response to this threat, the United Nations General Assembly designated the 1990s the Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction--a 10-year period devoted to improved efforts to reduce losses from natural extremes. The challenge to the hazards community is to halt or reverse the trend of rising impacts. Experience suggests that enough knowledge already exists, if properly applied, to substantially reduce both human and property losses from natural disasters. The United Nations called upon all countries to: establish national Decade programs which examine their capabilities for reducing the toll of natural hazards; assess the particular requirements of their respective countries in order to improve those capabilities; and develop a strategy for attaining these goals. An important first step in this process is identifying available information resources that address hazards management and mitigation activities. This directory was compiled to take that step as a contribution to the United States Decade program. The directory was prepared by the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder, in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder. Financial support was provided by the National Science Foundation through grant # CES-8717115 to the Program on Environment and Behavior of the Institute of Behavioral Science at the University of Colorado. Special thanks to Dr. Eleonora Sabadell of NSFs Natural and Manmade Hazards Mitigation Program for this grant. NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center funded the publication of this directory. How this Directory was Compiled Data resource surveys were mailed to nearly 1400 potential sources of natural hazards data in the winter of 1988-89. These sources were identified from existing data bases at the Natural Hazards Center as well as through a wide-ranging search for other appropriate data resources. Following the mail survey, the responses were screened and sorted, including those which provided data, technical assistance, or services related to hazards on a regional or national basis. In addition, a follow-up telephone survey was conducted of all non-respondents believed to be maintaining valuable data resources. Those not included were primarily private for-profit firms, and state agencies with data pertaining only to a specific state. Usef ulness Despite efforts to be complete and thorough in the preparation of this directory, there may be sources of information which are not included. Additionally, information contained herein may contain minor inaccuracies, especially because prices, data, content, format, contact people, and offices are ever- changing. It is intended that the directory be updated periodically, and therefore we ask you to send any comments about its usefulness, as well as corrections or additions, to: Natural Hazards Center University of Colorado Campus Box 482 Boulder, CO 80309-0482 USA 1 How to Use this Directory The directory includes;two types of information: 1) data resources organized by natural hazard topic, And 2) -lists of - hazard-related organizations. Each data resource listed includes the following: Data Resource Title Organization The Organization indicates which administrative group is maintaining the data. Contact The Contact provides the person to call or write for further information. Description The Description of the data resource may include the topic, level of aggregation, geographic area covered, time period of record, and source of data. Format The Format describes the structure of the data, e.g. hard copy (printed matter); computer copy (disks, tapes, on-line); audio-visual materials; and/or technical assistance. Availability The Availability informs the user of costs for acquiring the data, restrictions on access (if any), location of the data if different from the contact, frequency of updating the data, and related services. Additional Related Information The Additional Related Information fists any pertinent information such as reports, articles, pamphlets, and users' guides which describe the data. 2 The hazard-related organizations located in the Appendix include numerous state and federal institutions, as well as US and international programs. When appropriate, general functions of these organizations are described. The directory has three indices: agency, subject, and geographic. Many data resources apply to more than one hazard (e.g. earthquake and fire); therefore, through cross-referencing in the subject index, the user may locate multi-hazard data resources. To use this directory, simply look for a data resource by topic in the Table of Contents or Subject Index, and turn to the appropriate page. 3 i i GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS I i I I AVALANCHE Avalanche Information Organization Colorado Avalanche information Center Contact Knox Williams, Director Colorado Avalanche Information Center c/o Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Forest Service US Department of Agriculture 240 West Prospect Street Fort Collins, CO 80526 Telephone: (303) 498-1847 FTS: 323-1847 Description The Westwide Avalanche Network consists of 40 observing stations in the Western United States and Alaska.

The center is a cooperative endeavor of the university and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency. Its purpose is to protect people from earthquake hazards by a variety of mitigation activities, including applied research, that will prevent or reduce casualties, injuries, and property loss. The founders of the center recognize that relatively small investments in seismic hazard mitigation yield significant savings in reduced damages. Therefore, they plan to undertake a wide range of activities including the development of public awareness campaigns; publication of books and videos; assessment of risk in specific regions; promotion of safe building practices, especially in schools; organization of conferences, seminars, courses, and training workshops; and the initiation of other activities with the Missouri State Emergency Agency.
