In such a complex topic with such distributed roles and responsibilities amongst those involved, this approach makes considerable sense as a first effort in redefining how natural hazard information might be better incorporated into planning for the built environment.

The identification, acquisition, transfer and usage of knowledge is the key theme arising herein.
