For several years now, Natural Hazards Observer readers have had no choice but to pine for print. Although the august and once-free journal was still available online, the Natural Hazards Center couldn’t afford the expanding costs of mailing.
For many, though, online wasn’t good enough. Some missed their hard copy so much they even said they'd even be willing to pay for it! Well, now those readers (and anyone else who's interested) can put their money where their mouth is.
We're offering readers the option of a printed Observer for only $15 per year. That nominal and not-for-profit cost includes bimonthly delivery to your desk via First Class mail—and that’s not all.
You’ll also get a copy of The Disaster Years, a new book of cartoons by Observer artist Rob Pudim that spans his 36 years of limpid cartooning in the realm of hazards and disasters. This book is not for sale and is available only to subscribers to the Observer print edition.
Those interested in subscribing can sign up on our subscription page using a credit card or be invoiced later. Of course, the Observer is still available as a free PDF download.
You’ll find the July issue available now, with stories on wildfires, climate change in the American mind, and creating recovery in New York since 9/11. So whether you get it for cheap or get it for free, go ahead and get it!
