Hazard Ready Nation—Actionable Science for Risk Reduction
The USGS Strategy for a Hazard Ready Nation provides an approach that our researchers and staff can use to deliver actionable, user-focused science that supports risk-informed decision making aimed at reducing risk and losses across the Nation. The Strategy builds upon successful efforts within the USGS and seeks to promote and prioritize similar work in the future under an organized framework.
