- Abstract
- The report outlines the concept of an International Decade for Natural Hazard Reduction (IDNHR): the need for such an effort, the benefits it might confer, the kinds of projects it might include, and how it might be organized. The report is intended not only for those now in the hazard reduction field, but also for the broader audience of policy makers and the interested public who will provide the motive force behind any successful attempt to reduce hazard-related losses.
