Scientific and social scientific information on natural, technological, and intentional risks, hazards, and disasters.
Why was this blog created?
This blog was established in the days after the Haiti earthquake, and will likely focus on this disaster for the near future, but I would like this to be a repository for all manner of information on disasters, hazards, risk, and related matters. The amount of information here will ebb and flow with the salience of disasters and policy and research agendas. If you would like to be a contributing author, let me know!

Following up on the news coverage on "looting".
Isn't it time to stop referring to earthquake victims in Haiti as looters? CNN offers this commentary that might be of interest.
Thanks Dana!
