This committee will identify applied research topics, information and expertise that can inform action and collaborative 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 for the workshops and discussions at public sessions of the Resilient America Roundtable.

Each workshop will focus on distinct hazard mitigation and resilience issues and research topic areas. Following each workshop, the committee will prepare a brief consensus report that identifies and summarizes key research topics for the applied research community.
