- GC document calls for: Improve data collection to increase understanding of the ways in which hazards evolve. Create standards for sharing, storing and analyzing data.
- GC document calls for: Improve models and visualization techniques.
- GC document calls for: Create resilient structures and infrastructure systems using advanced building technologies. Support structural advances with effective nonstructural mitigation. Quantify the monetary benefits of disaster mitigation using economic modeling.
- GC document calls for: Develop science and technology to prevent cascading failures in public infrastructure systems. Enhance the ability to protect public health before and after a hazard event.
- GC document calls for: Support intelligent community planning and investment strategies and protect natural resources with comprehensive risk assessments. Assess the resilience of the natural and human environment. Learn from each hazard event
- GC document calls for: Raise public awareness of hazards they may potentially face. Warn people with consistent, accessible, and actionable messages and a national all-hazards emergency communication system. Develop policies that promote risk-wise behavior and that are based in social science research.
