本文介绍了2016年4月16日厄瓜多尔M-w 7.8地震后，欧盟民事保护小组（EUCPT）进行的震后安全评估。EUCPT结构工程师的使命于2016年4月22日至5月7日进行。开展了若干活动：（i）对建筑物进行地震后快速安全评估，（ii）拆除核查，（iii）安全道路通行，（iv）对重要建筑物进行详细的地震后安全评估。尽管结构专家人数不多，但在波托维耶霍检查了1000多座建筑，在足目检查了大约150座建筑。在这次使命中确定了几个经验教训，包括需要在外国团队中安插当地专家，以及为技术人员和应急管理人员制定震后评估准备方案的重要性。EUCPT的努力主要受益于地震发生时正在进行的减少灾害风险（DRR）试点项目。虽然该项目尚未完成，但对减少灾害风险的投资使救灾工作受益，即使是在没有直接参与该项目的地区。
This paper describes the post-earthquake safety assessments conducted by the European Union Civil Protection Team (EUCPT) following the M-w 7.8 Ecuador earthquake of April 16, 2016. The mission of the structural engineers within the EUCPT took place from April 22 to May 7, 2016. Several activities were performed: (i) rapid post-earthquake safety evaluations of buildings, (ii) demolition verification, (iii) safe road access, and (iv) detailed post-earthquake safety assessments of critical buildings. Despite the small number of structural experts, more than 1000 buildings were inspected in Portoviejo and approximately 150 in Pedernales. Several lessons were identified during this mission, including the need of embedding local experts in foreign teams and the importance of having preparedness programs on post-earthquake assessment both for technicians and emergency managers. The efforts of the EUCPT benefitted largely from a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) pilot project which was underway at the time of the earthquake. While the project was not yet completed, such investment in DRR benefitted the disaster response efforts, even in areas which were not directly involved in the program.
