> We would like to draw you attention to the following session at the 2011
> American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting (5-9 Dec)
>
> How can we use earthquake scenarios as a catalyst for action?
> Techniques for computing earthquake scenarios are developing rapidly and
> such information can be a powerful catalyst for risk reduction activity.
> Here, we wish to explore what has already been achieved and the potential
> for the future. Topics we hope to cover include are: what are the
> challenges in developing scenarios, characterising uncertainty and
> communicating implications to decision makers? How is the development of
> earthquake scenarios driven by users? What level of complexity is needed
> for different purposes and how much uncertainty can be tolerated? We
> particularly welcome contributions involving policy makers and non
> governmental organisations, especially those engaged in disaster risk
> reduction and preparedness activities.
>
> Our session is in the Public Affairs section. According to AGU policy,
> first authors/submitters may have a maximum of 1 contributed and 1 invited
> abstract (or two invited abstracts). However, one additional abstract from
> the first author/submitter may be submitted to a Public Affairs session.
> Also note that you do not have to be a member of AGU to submit an abstract
> and members can sponsor the submissions of non-members.
>
> Deadline for abstracts is 4 August 2011.
