Ian Robertson discusses the third edition of the Science Plan, a living document for natural hazards to consult as they design their individual research projects. Version three of the NHERI Science Plan incorporates key uses of simulation and modeling tools, social science approaches such as policy and economics, as well as the NSF-funded Extreme Events Reconnaissance teams — who do field research after an earthquake or a hurricane.
