What do we do?

We make it easy to learn about natural hazards, their impacts, and how to manage them

We provide:

01 — Management

We’ll manage your research programme, from funding all the way through to reporting. We’ll take away all the admin so that you can focus on what matters most - your research.

02 — Communication

We’ll translate your complex science, and make it simple, so everyone can easily understand it and use it. We’ll make sure you’re using the right language and tools to get your key messages across to your target audiences.

03 — Engagement

We’ll work with you to ensure the stakeholders who are key to your project's success are engaged in your research. Your key stakeholders will be well-informed of your progress, outputs and outcomes.

04 — Training

Join our Natural Hazards and Impact Essentials to equip yourself with knowledge and skills to help reduce the impact of natural hazards on us and be ready to make an impactful difference.

We’re here to help you grow your understanding of natural hazards, their impacts, and how to manage them
