knowledge about strategies for reducing the impact of large-scale hazards,
disasters, and emergencies on human health and wellbeing are invited to
recommend new measures for inclusion in the Index.
New measures that reflect
social, economic, or environmental dimensions of preparedness and resilience

measure definitions and specifications are also welcome.
Recommendations must be received by
February 15, 2015 to be considered for the next iteration of the
