[Esip-disasters] FW: AGU Natural Hazards Focus Group Announcement: Science for Disaster Risk Reduction

[Sean Barberie]

Thanks, Karen! Glad to see that a focus on disaster response is getting
attention. I know the second speaker: John Eichelberger. He does
interesting interdisciplinary work with volcanoes.
