Planning has begun for our 35th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop and each day we’ll be bringing you Web updates on schedules, speakers, and all the thought-provoking sessions our Workshop is known for. This year’s theme will be Larger Disasters: New Risks and New Opportunities.

Army Corps of Engineers Deputy Director for Civil Works Steven L. Stockton will deliver a keynote address and we’ll have plenary sessions on 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the America's Climate Choices study.

New this year is a special half-day pre-Workshop session on earthquake early warning technology and policy presented by the Western States Seismic Policy Council.
