The objective of this award is to organize and conduct a workshop for NSF-supported Rapid Response Research (RAPID) awardees to identify themes and directions for research programs resulting from their investigations of the 2010 and 2011 New Zealand earthquakes and the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami. The two-day workshop will be held at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Virginia, in 2012. Workshop participants will identify major lessons and opportunities for further research across a range of disciplines, including topics that are cross-disciplinary in nature. Recommendations from the workshop will be shared widely with the broader research and practicing earthquake engineering community in a workshop report disseminated through the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) website (http://www.eeri.org) and EERI's monthly newsletter. This award is part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), and the workshop report will also be posted on the NEHRP web site (http://www.nehrp.gov). The New Zealand and Japan earthquakes and tsunami present major learning opportunities for the U.S. research community. The complex nature of these events and resultant disasters provide major lessons and research opportunities across many disciplines. These recent earthquakes and tsunami are among the most significant and relevant events for the U.S. earthquake engineering community in the last several decades. Building codes in both countries are similar to those in the United States for concrete and steel buildings; there are many strong motion records (especially in Japan) that provide valuable data; the geologic setting and tsunami vulnerability for Japan are similar to the Pacific Northwest Cascadian subduction zone; there are similarities and lessons from the transportation, lifelines, and critical facilities sectors; and there are similar social and political issues in the response and recovery. This workshop will provide the mechanism to collect and synthesis observations from the numerous NSF-supported RAPID field studies to identify research needs for earthquake mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery to make the United States better prepared for future disasters.

该奖项的目的是为NSF支持的快速反应研究（RAPID）获奖者组织和举办一个研讨会，以确定他们对2010年和2011年新西兰地震和2011年日本地震和海啸的调查所产生的研究项目的主题和方向。 为期两天的研讨会将于2012年在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会举行。 研讨会的参与者将确定跨学科进一步研究的主要经验教训和机会，包括跨学科性质的主题。 研讨会的建议将通过地震工程研究所（EERI）网站（http：//www.example.com）和EERI的每月通讯在研讨会报告中与更广泛的研究和实践地震工程界广泛分享。www.eeri.org该奖项是国家减少地震灾害计划（NEHRP）的一部分，研讨会报告也将张贴在NEHRP网站（http：//www.example.com）上。www.nehrp.gov新西兰和日本的地震和海啸为美国研究界提供了重要的学习机会。这些事件及其造成的灾害的复杂性为许多学科提供了重要的经验教训和研究机会。这些最近的地震和海啸是美国地震工程界在过去几十年中最重要和最相关的事件之一。 这两个国家的建筑规范与美国的混凝土和钢结构建筑相似;有许多强烈的运动记录（特别是在日本），提供了宝贵的数据;日本的地质环境和海啸脆弱性与太平洋西北卡斯卡迪亚俯冲带相似;交通，生命线和关键设施部门有相似之处和教训;在应对和恢复过程中也存在类似的社会和政治问题。该研讨会将提供一种机制，收集和综合来自众多NSF支持的RAPID实地研究的观察结果，以确定地震减灾、备灾、响应和恢复的研究需求，使美国更好地为未来的灾害做好准备。
