Natural Hazards Center Collection

A collection of reports published by the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder, featuring the Quick Response Research Program reports. The Quick Response Research Program provides funds for researchers to quickly travel to disaster-affected areas to capture perishable data. In addition to contributing to academic knowledge, this research results in reports that make rapid analysis of recent events available to the Hazards Center's multidisciplinary network of researchers, practitioners, and educators. The program promotes innovation in disaster research by favoring students, new researchers, and novel areas of study. This collection supports research in mental health and pertains to disasters both natural and human caused. This is a joint project of the USF Libraries Special & Digital Collections and The Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute Research Library.
