The September, 1985 Mexico earthquake provides potential data on actual injuries in a major earthquake of the type expected in the U.S. Such data could help modify current injury-prevention recommendations, which are currently too general. A retrospective study of victims of the Mexico earthquake will be conducted. This research, involving perspectives and methods from architecture, structural engineering, and epidemiology, will be done to identify patterns of injury and possible associations between specific types of injury and specific physical settings and/or occupant characteristics. This interdisciplinary investigation is expected to: (1) significantly increase the data base on human injury in earthquakes, and (2) serve as a basis for the formulation of building-specific planning, design, and occupant response guidelines.

1985 年 9 月的墨西哥地震提供了美国预期发生的大地震中实际伤害的潜在数据。这些数据可以帮助修改目前过于笼统的伤害预防建议。 将对墨西哥地震的受害者进行回顾性研究。 这项研究涉及建筑学、结构工程和流行病学的观点和方法，旨在确定伤害模式以及特定类型伤害与特定物理环境和/或乘员特征之间可能存在的关联。 这项跨学科调查预计将：（1）显着增加地震中人体伤害的数据库，（2）作为制定特定建筑规划、设计和居住者响应指南的基础。
