The Natural Hazards Center—with funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation—has launched the Health and Extreme Weather Research Award Program, which is designed to address gaps in knowledge about the health risks and consequences associated extreme weather events.

As communities across the continental United States and the Caribbean brace for another turbulent year of hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, the Natural Hazards Center had compiled resources that can help with preparation, response, and recovery.

The latest round of Weather Ready Research invites previously funded scholars to extend and translate their research findings, published data, or instruments into new tools, technologies, or trainings to communicate about extreme weather. Check out these upcoming projects!

In response to an outbreak of devastating tornadoes across the Midwest and Southeast U.S. earlier this month, the Natural Hazards Center compiled research reports with lessons learned from past tornadoes as well as a list of funding opportunities, tools, and other resources for researchers.

As California fires burn, the Natural Hazards Center has compiled reports with lessons learned from previous wildfires as well as a list of funding opportunities, tools, and other resources for researchers.
