| Home | Disasters: Reducing loss of life and property from natural and human-induced disasters |
|||||||||||||||
| Disaster losses can be reduced through observations relating to hazards
such as: wildland fires; volcanic eruptions; earthquakes; tsunamis;
subsidence; landslides; avalanches; ice; floods; extreme weather; and
pollution events. GEOSS implementation will bring a more timely
dissemination of information through better coordinated systems for
monitoring, predicting, risk assessment, early warning, mitigating, and
responding to hazards at local, national, regional, and global levels. For the Disasters SBA, it was separated into two parts. Follow the links below to their respective pages. |
