Informing Hazard and DRR Decision Making Through Multi-Disciplinary Science Collaborations

1: There are significant DRR decisions that science has no impact on; need a better understanding of the decision context and the competition among information types. 2: Science is critical to DRR problem solving but defining the problem is often a political process; organizational culture and capacity also contribute. 3: Transition of knowledge to action is non-linear; need to understand where, when and how science engages with decision making. 4: Are we expecting too much of “science” and scientists within this larger more dynamic process?
