Updated Natural Hazards Partnership Website

The Natural Hazards Partnership, established in 2011, provides authoritative and consistent information, research and analysis on natural hazards for the development of more effective policies, communications and services for civil contingencies, governments and the responder community across the UK.

An updated website has just gone live and includes a number of resources about natural hazards posed to the UK - http://www.naturalhazardspartnership.org.uk/ 

The NHP states that: "Our challenge is to broaden the focus of natural hazards risk management from what has been predominately an early warning system towards a more holistic and integrated approach, encompassing more emphasis on risk reduction and prevention. We are already gaining international recognition as world leading. Initial findings from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction facilitated peer review of the UK's approach to resilience, highlighted the Natural Hazards Partnership as a model "other nations may wish to adopt". Furthermore, influential organisations, such as the European Centre's Joint Research Centre, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, World Health Organisation and World Meteorological Organisation are acknowledging the role of the Natural Hazards Partnership and the importance of its work."
