U.S.-Taiwan Symposium/Workshop on Urban Disaster Mitigation and the Role of Engineering and Technology (4th U.S.-Taiwan Multiple Hazard Mitigation Symposium/Workshop)

9414360第四届美国-台湾减少多重危险研讨会/研讨会将于1994年7月15日至16日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。这两个国家都面临着自然灾害的后果，通过研究，两国都在减轻这些影响方面取得了长足的进步。几十年来，两国开展了联合研究活动，其中三个关于减轻多种灾害的讲习班引起了自然灾害研究界的极大兴趣和利益。第四次会议的目标是：讨论从最近的自然灾害中吸取的经验教训；评估当前的知识状况；确定共同感兴趣的新的研究领域；评估台湾长达十年的多重减灾项目；并继续建立学术界和实践界之间现有的双边关系。这些活动的好处是减少了自然灾害造成的损失、伤害和损害。***

9414360 Cheng The 4th United States-Taiwan Multiple Hazard Mitigation Symposium/Workshop will take place the 15-16 July, 1994, in Chicago, Illinois. Both countries are exposed to the consequences of natural disasters, and through research both have made great strides in the mitigation of these effects. For several decades the two nations have conducted joint research activities of which three workshops on multiple hazards mitigation were of great interest and benefit to the natural hazards research community. The objectives of the fourth meeting are: to discuss the lessons learned from recent natural disasters; to assess the currents state of knowledge; to identify new research areas of common interest; to evaluate the decade- long Taiwan's multiple hazard mitigation project; and to continue building the bilateral relationship existing between the academic and practicing communities. The benefits from these activities are the reduction in losses, injuries and damages, due to natural hazards. ***
