Katrina Resource Page
The Center created a Web page that compiles a list of useful resources examining the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
The Natural Hazards Center Library at the University of Colorado houses one of the most unique collections of social science literature in the world. The library's primary focus is on research and information about how society prepares for, responds to, recovers from, and mitigates damage and other losses from natural hazards and catastrophic events.
This nonlending library is an important resource for scholars and practitioners who are studying hazards and disasters. The collection includes bound documents, serials, reports, journal articles, video tapes, and compact discs.
HazLit, the library's searchable online database, provides access to the full collection of the library. HazLit offers users the opportunity to easily search the library's holdings and identify the publications they need. The database is updated weekly.
In addition to this online service, for a fee, the Natural Hazards Center can conduct extensive custom searches of its library collection. Feel free to ask us hazards-related questions too! We are happy to guide your research or put you in touch with people or institutions that may have the answers you need.
The Natural Hazards Center would like to thank the Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI) for funding the HazLit upgrade project.
