Prof Bamutaze attended and participated at the 50th Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop, held 13-16 July 2025 in Broomfield, Colorado. The workshop attracted nearly 750 leading researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are concerned with reducing disaster losses. Apart from presenting a paper on Evaluation of Nature based Solutions in Geohazards Mitigation on Mountain Elgon, he also used the opportunity to promote the AUDA-NEPAD Water CoEs and the ACEWATER III project, beyond Africa. The workshop was followed by the National Science Foundation-supported Researchers Meeting, 16-17 July. The ACEWATER III project co-funded this year’s workshop with the theme: The Next 50 Years: Charting a Course for the Hazards and Disaster Field.
Since 1975, the Natural Hazards Center has hosted the Annual Natural Hazards Research and Applications Workshop in Colorado. This Workshop brings together federal, state, and local mitigation and emergency management officials and planning professionals; representatives of nonprofit, private sector, and humanitarian organizations; hazards and disaster researchers; and others dedicated to alleviating the impacts of disasters.
