This committee will identify applied research topics, information, and expertise that can inform action and opportunities within the natural hazard mitigation and resilience fields. The committee will convene two public Workshops as the primary source of information for its work, supplemented by background materials collected at public sessions of the Resilient America Roundtable.

Each Workshop will focus on a distinct theme, selected by the committee. Following each Workshop, the committee will prepare a brief consensus report summarizing key topics for the applied research community. Each report will contain findings but no recommendations and be limited to topics covered at the Workshops.
