"The Natural Disaster Reference Database (NDRD) is a bibliographic database on research, programs, and results which relate to the use of satellite remote sensing for disaster mitgation. The NDRD was compiled and abstracted from articles published from 1981 though January 2000. Major sources for the contents of this database were the NASA RECON and ISI Current Contents databases. This database focuses on the nexus of hazards and satellite remote sensing as well as models and process studies through which these can be brought together. Although the NDRD is no longer updated, it remains on-line as a useful resource for disaster researchers worldwide and as a legacy web site of the Earth-Sun Exploration Division, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center located in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA."
