                   Moscow Mudflow Center

DR145 had an announcement from E.S. Troshkina about a worldwide
project to evaluate mudflows and avalanches.  The International
Landslide Research Group has volunteered to make a map for the
United States, probably at 1:2,500,000 scale. They have enough
data for debris flows but need someone to do the avalanche part.
Anyone interested? Please reply to: ebrabb@isdmnl.wr.usgs.gov or

     Natural Hazards Center Quick Response Grant Program

The Natural Hazards Center is soliciting proposals for its Quick
Response Program, which enables social scientists to conduct
short-term field investigations immediately after a disaster
strikes.  The program provides preapproved researchers with
nominal funding for travel and data collection (grants average
between $1,000 and $3,000).  In exchange, recipients submit
reports of their findings, which are immediately published by the
Natural Hazards Center.

Researchers who wish to submit proposals for funding for the
coming year should contact Mary Fran Myers, Project Manager,
Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center, IBS
#6, Campus Box 482, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-
0482, Phone: (303) 492-2150, fax: (303) 492-2151, e-mail:
myersmf@coloardo.edu.  The deadline for proposals is October 15.

     Global Disaster Risk Management Network Announced

A global network designed to improve national and  international
efforts to deal with natural disasters has been formed by the  
United Nations University in cooperation with Stanford
University, the World Seismic Safety Initiative and the
University of Tokyo's International Center for
Disaster-Mitigation Engineering.

Formation of the Global Network on Natural Disaster Risk
Management (GLO-DISNET) was announced by Stanford professor of
civil engineering Haresh C. Shah.  The principal functions of the
new network are to: 1) develop a general framework for global
research and training programs involving natural disaster risk
management; 2) bring together research related to natural
disaster risk management in a single, international network; 3)
increase interactions among risk management experts to promote
related research and training, reduce overlap in research,
promote comparative studies and facilitate international research
efforts; 4) create a global database of relevant research
findings that can be disseminated to interested offices in the
United Nations and other organizations; and, 5) provide reliable,
detailed information on effective environmental and risk
management strategies to help reduce the impact of natural
disasters.

The network will pursue a holistic ecosystems approach to the
research and training activities that it undertakes. A primary
focus of its activities will be to help developing countries
establish effective risk management programs for natural
disasters.

       Natural Disaster Awareness Day October 12, 1994

In recognition of Natural Disaster Awareness Day, an "electronic
field trip" will take place, targeted to children in fourth
through eighth grades (ages 9-14).  This "electronic field trip"
involves two satellite broadcast components: 1) a 1/2-hour
satellite broadcast from 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., eastern time, on
October 5, containing a pretaped orientation program; and, 2) a
one-hour live, interactive satellite teleconference on October
12, to be broadcast from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., eastern time.  

The focus of the "electronic field trip" will be on how to
prepare for and deal with various natural disaster events.  The
live, interactive "field trip" will consist of video information
about natural disasters, and feature speakers from the United
States Geological Survey (Ross Stein, Seismologist, USGS Menlo
Park), NOAA/National Weather Service (Dr. Bob Sheets,
Director/National Hurricane Center) and American Red Cross
Disaster Services Preparedness (Dr. Rocky Lopes, Disaster
Education Associate).  Viewers will be provided a toll-free
number to call during the broadcast to ask questions of the
speakers.

Both broadcasts will be aired on C-Band, Telstar 302 (85
degrees). Other technical information will be available upon
registration with Fairfax County (VA) Office of Media Services.
Printed material and a computer bulletin board for post-
teleconference mentoring will also be available.  Participation
is free, but in order to receive the printed materials,
interested viewers should register in advance by calling the
Fairfax Network at 1-800-233-3277.

                   Publications Available

The 1987 publication "Data Processing Facilities: Guidelines for
Earthquake Hazard Mitigation" was a result of concern for Data
Processing facilities and their vulnerability from earthquakes as
well as many other surprise interruptions of power.  The research
on this project was sponsored by a committee of over 20
corporations, public utilities and government agencies. This
one-of-a-kind manual is divided into nine technical sections,
each chapter deals with issues such as information on              
earthquakes, risk variability across the U.S., applicability of
current building codes, and how the probable motions of a site
can be analyzed. Other chapters deal with seismic design
considerations for buildings, support utilities, non-structural
building elements, raised computer floors, computer equipment,
tape and disk storage, and contingency planning. The final
chapter discusses the impact of earthquakes on telecommunications
and includes a helpful check-list for guidance.  Send a check for

"Preparing for an Uncertain Climate" is the 1993 report of the
U.S. Congress' Office of Technology Assessment in response to the
question of how the United States can best prepare for the
uncertainties of global warming, sea level rise, and other
impacts of a changing climate.  Volume 1 addresses coastal areas,
water resources, and agriculture; volume 2 includes wetlands,
preserved lands, and forests.  Over 100 recommendations are made
for actions to help ease the transition to an uncertain climate,
ranging from those that should be taken immediately to those that
are less likely, long-term opportunities.  Unlike most work so
far on climate change, this one provides policy guidance for
natural resource management and planning, and outlines reasonable
options for mitigation and adaptation.  Volume 1, 052-003-01356-
8, $23.00.  Volume 2, 052-003-01357-6, $24.00.  Order from the

            Workshop Participants Sought

Workshop on Atlantic Hurricane Variability on Decadal Time
Scales: Nature Causes and Socio-Economic Impacts.  Miami, FL:
February 7-8, 1995. Among the major topics to be discussed are
the influence of the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO),
decadal-scale variability of SST in the tropical Atlantic
(including the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico) and potential
future changes in the hurricane environment resulting from
anthropogenic climatic changes.  Because of the great potential
for hurricane-caused destruction of property and loss of life,
the science of hurricane forecasting has always been intimately
connected with natural disaster preparedness, and hurricane
forecasters have a long history of working closely with emergency
management authorities.  Clearly, an increase in the frequency
and/or intensity of these storms could have a tremendous impact
on the socioeconomic life of the countries in the affected
regions.  It is important that the implications of future changes
in hurricane activities, from whatever causes, be properly
assessed.  Topics to be discussed in this regard are: social and
economic aspects of hurricanes in the context of climatic change;
identification of regions-at-risk in the Caribbean and the
Americas; and susceptibility of population-at-risk to a given
event or sequence of events (i.e., vulnerability).  Funds are
expected to be available to support the participation of invited
speakers. Please indicate your willingness to participate by
contacting: Dr. Henry F. Diaz, NOAA/ERL/CDC, 325 Broadway,
