Post-EQ BLDG Damage Assessment

[Project Under Development]

This page is a location where we are collecting and storing information, published literature and guidelines related to post-earthquake building damage assessments. The goal of this page is to collect and share as much material as possible from many different countries. Once we have a fairly complete set of materials we will decide the next steps–should we publish the page as-is, begin work on a more generic “tutorial” or guideline, or some hybrid of the two. Jitendra Bothara of the WHE Editorial Board has taken the lead in organizing the task, so comments can be sent to him at jitendra.bothara@gmail.com, with a cc to Andrew Charleson, the WHE Editor-in-Chief, Andrew.Charleson@vuw.ac.nz.

If you would like to contribute any material for this page, please email the materials to whe@eeri.org.
