This Collaborative Rapid Response Research Grant (RAPID) project will collect perishable damage data caused by Hurricane Sandy that made landfall on October 29, 2012. It was a very large storm (almost 800 miles in diameter according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) that affected large areas of coastlines of New York (Long Island and New York Metropolitan area) and New Jersey. The storm was judged to be Category 1 based on its wind speed. However, because of its size and coinciding with high lunar tide, it generated high storm surge. The coastline regions received serious damage by the flood due to surge and impact forces of waves. Residential structures along the coastlines sustained severe damage and destruction. This collaborative project will collect field data of damaged residential buildings focusing on the New Jersey coastal area. Two major goals for collection of data are: (1) to collect perishable data on residential building damage levels, failure modes, and building characteristics (elevation, specific connections/members failed, age); and (2) to find damage gradients, and to identify and quantify their causes. Small teams will evaluate and record data for every residence in the selected region. Data taken will include location, elevations, house type and size, approximate age, large scale storm erosion/accretion, local scale foundation scour, approximate waterlines, visible damage from wind/waves, damage levels, damage/failure modes, specific connection and member failures, and environmental exposure (sheltered behind buildings/dunes, open to sea). Numerous GPS-tagged pictures will be taken of each house from multiple angles. With 3-4 teams of 2 people each, 400-600 houses will be surveyed for the database. These damage data will be used in future research in developing storm surge resistant residential structures.

这个合作快速反应研究资助（RAPID）项目将收集2012年10月29日登陆的飓风桑迪造成的易腐损害数据。这是一场非常大的风暴（根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局的数据，直径接近800英里），影响了纽约（长岛和纽约都会区）和新泽西的大部分海岸线。根据风速，风暴被判定为1级。然而，由于它的大小和与高月球潮汐相吻合，它产生了高风暴潮。由于涌浪和海浪的冲击力，海岸线地区受到严重破坏。沿着的住宅结构遭到严重破坏。该合作项目将收集现场数据的损坏的住宅建筑物集中在新泽西沿海地区。收集数据的两个主要目标是：（1）收集有关住宅建筑损坏程度、故障模式和建筑特征（海拔、特定连接/构件故障、年龄）的易损坏数据;（2）找到损坏梯度，并确定和量化其原因。小团队将评估和记录选定地区每个住宅的数据。采集的数据将包括位置、海拔、房屋类型和大小、大致年龄、大规模风暴侵蚀/堆积、局部规模地基冲刷、大致水线、风/浪造成的可见损坏、损坏程度、损坏/故障模式、具体连接和构件故障以及环境暴露（建筑物/沙丘后面的遮蔽、向海开放）。将从多个角度拍摄每栋房子的许多GPS标记的照片。3-4个小组，每个小组2人，将调查400-600所房屋的数据库。这些损坏数据将用于未来的研究，在开发风暴潮抗住宅结构。
