- Book Title / Journal: EERI Report
- Year: 2013 , Volume: , Series:
- Earthquake engineering ; Seismic effects
- Keywords: Lushan ; China ; EERI
- Description
- This report is based on two accounts from EERI members. Marshall Lew, AMEC, Los Angeles,
CA, made a one-day visit on May 28th to Lushan County of Ya’an City in Sichuan Province in
southwestern China; Yu Xiao, urban planner, College Station, TX, paid a two-day visit to the
same area in early June. Because Lushan County was one of the 41 severely damaged areas
in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the main goal of Xiao’s field visit was to determine whether
lessons from the previous quake are being used to guide emergency management, temporary shelter/housing, and recovery planning. After her visit, she received updates from contact
persons in China.

-
- Book Title / Journal:
- Year: 2013 , Volume: , Series:
- Earthquake engineering ; Seismic effects
- Keywords: Guatemala earthquake 2012 ; disaster reduction ; disaster mitigation
- Description
- During the first week of April 2013 a group of engineers from EERI and AGIES, along with consultants from the World Bank, visited some of the areas affected by the November 7, 2012 M7.4 earthquake. The main purpose of the visit was to collect information about the effects of the earthquake and to gain insight into current construction practices in the regions damaged. This
report is the first in a series of case studies being
developed by EERI on recovery and resilience in
developing countries. It was funded by a grant
agreement between EERI and the Global Facility for
Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction (GFDRR) at The World Bank. The field study conducted by AGIES, EERI, and the World Bank, is a best practice worthy of replication for understanding the causes of structural damage and improving building codes and standards accordingly.

- Keywords: Emilia Romagna Earthquake
- Description
- The 5.9Mw earthquake, which hit the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy on 20th May 2012 (see Rossetto et al, 2012) was followed on the 29th May 2012 by a 5.8Mw earthquake with epicentre 15km North West of the former event. This earthquake caused further damage to locations hit by the 20th May earthquake, and extended the affected area to the East-side of the province of Modena, resulting in 17 deaths and 14,000 homeless.
A team consisting of Dr Ioanna Ioannou, Randolph Borg and Jose Melo from EPICentre, and Viviana
Novelli from University of Bath, travelled to the affected areas on 2nd June 2012. The team spent
four days in the field, re-visiting Finale Emilia, San Felice sul Panaro, San Agostino and Mirabello as
well as visiting new areas such as Mirandola, Cento, Cavezzo and San Possidonio. Rapid surveys were
conducted that focused on the overall performance of residential, commercial, industrial and historical structures, emergency management and on geotechnical features of the two recent events.
The present report complements the first reconnaissance report (Rossetto et al, 2012) and should be read in addition to it in order to obtain a complete picture of the impact of the two moderate
events. Both reports can be downloaded from the EPICentre website (www.epicentreonline.com), where kml files with the georeferenced photos collected in the field for the two events can also be
downloaded (for viewing on Google Earth).
