Damage to Existing Building Stocks from Nataural Disasters: The Special Case of Historic Architecture in Charleston, South Carolina, in Hurricane Hugo

该项目将利用飓风雨果提供的机会，研究其对查尔斯顿历史建筑的影响，这项研究包括三个部分：1)对历史建筑的结构破坏和其他破坏的详细汇编；2)确定文化财产管理者和所有者为减少脆弱性而采取的步骤；3)飓风前后在应急、打捞和恢复行动中使用的准备计划、组织安排和反应能力的有效性。查明和评估在此案中采取的有效减轻损害的措施，将使其他灾害多发地区的文化财产责任人受益，这些措施可作为典范。

The project will take advantage of the opportunity provided by Hurricane Hugo to study its impact on historical buildings in Charleston, S.C. The study consists of three parts: 1) a detailed compilation of the structural and other damages to historic buildings; 2) the identification of the steps taken by managers and owners of cultural property to reduce vulnerability; and 3) the effectiveness of the preparedness plans, organizational arrangements and response capabilities used in the emergency response, salvage and recovery operations, before and after the hurricane. The identification and assessment of the measures taken in this case which resulted in the effective mitigation of damages will benefit those responsible for cultural property in other disaster prone areas with these measures serving as models.
