NASA's Earth Applied Sciences Disasters program area recently participated in the biennial Understanding Risk Global Forum (UR22). The hybrid event brought together 2,500 people from the private, public, nonprofit, technology, research, academic, and financial sectors to cultivate new ideas and foster collaboration in support of disaster risk reduction. We shared our work to advance disaster science and turn knowledge into action that benefits all of society.
