Since we’ll be on hiatus, this is our last opportunity to remind you that we’re still looking for your suggestions for session topics and speakers for our 2012 Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop—but only until New Year’s Eve.

The Workshop exists so researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and students from far-flung corners of the hazards and disasters community can meet and discuss the latest developments in their fields and how society might best respond. We need your help figuring out who needs to be there and what they should talk about.

Please take a moment to fill out our online form—as many times as you like—before December 31. We'll take your ideas, fuse them together, and look forward to a new set of lively conversations in July.
