2nd U.S.-Asia Conference on Engineering for Mitigating Natural Hazards Damage (EMNHD-2), June 17-22, 1991, Jakarta, Indonesia

第二次美国-亚洲减轻自然灾害损害工程会议将于1991年6月17日至22日在印度尼西亚雅加达举行。重点将放在极端大风、洪水、地震、山体滑坡、其他地面塌陷和火山上。EMNHD-2将是国际减少自然灾害十年（减灾十年）期间进行的许多活动之一，强调国家、区域和国际必须努力减少生命和经济损失；以及减轻自然极端事件造成的损害。主题演讲、讲座、论文和小组讨论将重点介绍区域和地方自然灾害问题、解决这些问题的工程研究和实践、研究需求、知识转移、以及美国和亚洲国家之间可能的合作项目。会议纪要将出版，最后报告连同研究建议将分发给研究人员、执业工程师、规划人员和适当的政府机构。

The Second United States-Asia Conference on Engineering for Mitigating Natural Hazards Damage (EMNHD-2) will take place on June 17- 22, 1991, in Jakarta, Indonesia. The focus will be on extreme winds, floods, earthquakes, landslides, other ground failures, and volcanoes. The EMNHD-2 will be one of the many activities taking place during the International Decade for Natural Disasters Reduction (IDNDR) that emphasizes the need for national, regional and international efforts for diminishing life and economic losses, and for mitigating the damages produced by natural extreme events. Keynote speeches, lectures, papers and panel discussions will highlight regional and local natural hazards problems, engineering research and practice addressing these problems, research needs, transfer of knowledge, and possible cooperative projects between the United States and the Asian Countries. Proceedings of the conference will be published and the final report with recommendations for research will be distributed to researchers, practicing engineers, planners and appropriate government agencies.
