1. When science meets decision making I work at the interface between science and decision making for DRR and resilience building Understanding how different groups access and use scientific information is vital Earthquake risk training in Bangladesh (Nov 2012) Training in non-structural risk assessment in Bangladesh (Nov 2012) Recordings of the Muzaffarabad earthquake made in the UK

2. Increasing Resilience to Natural Hazards OUTCOMES ARE BETTER WHEN SCIENTISTS WORK WITH OTHER PEOPLE Strengthening Resilience in Volcanic Regions Earthquakes without Frontiers

3. How do you access and use science? What challenges do you face? What would the ideal process look like? How can projects like EwF and STREVA support your activities?
