Support for Workshop: Vision 2005: An Action Plan for Strong-Motion Programs To Mitigate Earthquake Losses in Urbanized Areas

9708659步骤国家减少地震损失计划（NEP）的战略计划（1996年4月）以声明开头，“虽然地震是不可避免的自然灾害，但它们不一定是不可避免的灾害。”通过谨慎的行动，我们的国家可以减少未来地震造成的生命、人员伤亡、财产损失以及社会和经济破坏。”这是对管理地震损失的国家承诺的重申，正是这一承诺促使1977年实施了国家减少地震灾害计划（NEHRP）。新经济政策目标的一个组成部分是提供足够的强运动信息数据库。鉴于对强震数据的广泛需求，以制定减少地震损失的措施，最近关于地震工程和减轻地震灾害的关键需求的研究强调，需要建立一个实体，以概述和提供对强震信息需求的广泛国家视角，并为协调发展计划提供领导，以推进强震方案，以实现减少地震损失的既定国家目标和战略目标。美国强运动计划推进委员会（CASMP）成立于1996年，以响应这一需求。CASMP的目标是持续提供对强震项目需求的广泛的全国概览，并鼓励在强震数据的收集、传播和利用方面取得进展，以此作为提高地震公共安全的工具。委员会计划通过一系列侧重于确定国家强震数据需求的讲习班来实现其目标；评估现有强运动项目满足国家对强运动数据需求的程度；并促进制定国家战略计划的强动方案。委员会将推动采取行动，加强实施国家强震计划的强震项目，并将促进协调一致的国际强震项目的发展，以加强美国的强震项目。这一行动是为了支持计划中的第一个讲习班。本次研讨会的目标是为强震项目制定一项行动计划，即2005年愿景，以减轻城市化地区的地震损失。该讲习班将于1997年4月2日至4日在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷举行。

9708659 Stepp The strategic plan (April 1996) for the National Earthquake Loss Reduction Program (NEP) opens with the statement, "Although earthquakes are inevitable natural hazards, they need not be inevitable disasters. Through prudent actions our nation can reduce losses of life, casualties, property losses, and social and economic disruptions from future earthquakes." This is a renewal of the national commitment to managing losses in earthquakes that motivated implementation of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) in 1977. An integral part of the NEP goals is the availability of an adequate data base of strong motion information. Given the broad need for strong motion data to develop earthquake loss reduction measures, recent studies of the key needs for earthquake engineering and earthquake hazard mitigation have emphasized the need to establish an entity to overview and provide broad national perspective of needs for strong motion information and to provide leadership for coordinated development of plans to advance strong motion programs to meet established national goals and strategic targets for reducing earthquake losses. The U.S. Committee for Advancement of Strong Motion Programs (CASMP) was established in 1996 in response to this need. The objective of CASMP is to provide continuing broad national overview of strong motion program needs and to encourage advancements in the collection, dissemination and utilization of strong motion data as a tool for improving public safety in earthquakes. The Committee plans to accomplish its objectives through a series of workshops focusing on the identification of national strong motion data needs; assessment of the degree to which existing strong motion programs meet the national needs for strong motion data; and facilitation of the development of a national strategic plan for strong motion programs. The Committee will promote actions to enhance strong motion programs implementing the national strong motion plan, and will facilitate development of coordinated international strong motion programs to augment U.S. programs. This action is to support the first of the workshops planned. The goal for this workshop is to develop an action plan for strong-motion programs, referred to as Vision 2005, to mitigate earthquake losses in urbanized areas. This workshop will be held in Monterey, CA, 2-4 April 1997.
