Research and Practice Highlights
Do you have something new that you want to share with members of the hazards and disaster community? Research and Practice Highlights are all about shining a bright light on new projects, programs, initiatives, local/state/national policies, and noteworthy publications.
Highlights are brief descriptions of your work or current projects. They are not for presentation, but rather, they will be posted on the Natural Hazards Center website. This outlet allows all participants the opportunity to share what they are doing and to maximize networking potential. Research and Practice Highlights are due by no later than June 11.
