The USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station, in collaboration with USFS Region 2 and NOAA hosted the Western Watersheds and Climate Change: Water and Aquatic System Tools workshop on November 17-19, 2009 in Boulder, Colorado. This workshop, funded by the FY08 Forest Service Global Change Program, brought together 25 USFS National Forest (NF) staff working in western water and aquatic ecosystems, and 19 scientists from both other agencies and the academic community. The purpose of the workshop was to begin a dialogue among USFS managers and scientists about knowledge and tools that are currently available or needed to address water and climate change. The suite of responses to the pre-workshop evaluation questions about the use of climate information in decision-making supports the need for training on the time scales of climate variability and change, and further instruction about available resources and information to support informed decision-making.", prepared by: University of Colorado, Boulder & National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Western Water Assessment (WWA) [and] University of Arizona & National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) ; K.

As we enter the 21st century, we are facing new threats and risks, which may mean we will be dealing with new types of hazards and disasters. The disasters of the future may or may not be bigger or worse, but they are likely to be more complex and require more sophistication in response and recovery., "July 8, 1998."--P.

The purpose of this study is to examine women's vulnerability and resilience to disasters in the context of the 2013 Colorado floods. The study used a qualitative methodology and explores the opinions and experiences of community leaders and local officials in terms of identifying how women in their communities were particularly vulnerable or resilient to the floods. The results demonstrate that gender was not the focus of either group, and that the question of gender in terms of vulnerability and resilience to disasters was not a topic widely discussed in practice. Although gender had not been a topic of discussion, it was clear from the interviews that there is significant interest in determining how the disaster and emergency management cycle can be modified to include the perspectives of women, as well as other minority groups, to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience. The conclusion of this report details several suggestions and recommendations that can be used across the county to accomplish this goal., Bridgette Cram., Includes bibliographical references., Print version record.
