This 97-page report summarizes a project that was conducted to determine the state of preparedness of coastal hospitals in response to a Cascadia earthquake and tsunami, and to assess what is needed to reduce earthquake damage in order to provide sufficient healthcare services following the event. The project assessed each hospital’s level of awareness and preparedness for earthquakes and tsunamis, and found out what information and resources the hospitals need to effectively plan for a magnitude 9 Cascadia earthquake and accompanying tsunami.

This 12-page document summarizes a symposium to discuss the state of cooperative threat reduction (CTR) and the future of CTR programs over the next 10 years and beyond. Participants and speakers shared experience gained implementing CTR and explored CTR in light of new developments in science and technology, such as the convergence of chemistry and biology, and the needs and interests of the scientific communities in different countries. Participants also considered how government CTR programs should change and/or be reframed for the current and evolving global security and international political environment, as well as domestic requirements for impact and accountability.

This four-page document summarizes a study that uses data from across the world to measure the human health impacts of climate change on a global scale, accounting for both benefits and costs of adaptation. It discusses the work of researchers who aimed to account for increased deaths in parts of the world that are not rich enough to endure extreme heat, declining mortality rates in cold regions, and the economic toll of adaptation in wealthier societies that can adapt.
