When we last left the Natural Hazards Center's motley crew, they were in the throes of pulling off one of their biggest capers yet—the 35th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop. With that mission accomplished, we’re coming out of hiatus to give you the scoop.

This special issue of DR will be focused on all things Workshop, showcasing some of the ideas and resources that rose from the three-day gathering of researchers, practitioners, government officials, and nonprofit organizers.

Although we couldn’t wait to bring you Workshop news, we still have some antics up our sleeves before we return to our regular publication schedule. We’ll back with our regular fare of hazards news, resources, conferences, and jobs on August 12.
