A new study by two USGS earthquake experts suggests that there will be more individual earthquakes with very large death tolls as well as more people dying during earthquakes than ever before.
The Public Library on Science (PLoS), a non-profit US-publisher, announced the launch of a new flexible publishing channel. "PLoS Currents: Disasters" makes available research results and operational analyses derived from the study or management of all types of disasters in a timely and flexible manner. PLoS thus supports one of the core goals of the UNIDSR Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015 by strengthening “the sharing of research findings, lessons learned and best practices”.
