RAPID: Tag Team Hurricane Haiyan Wind and Storm Evaluations in the Philippines

该快速反应赠款(RAPID)项目旨在为现场团队获得的数据建立一个互动网站，以记录在菲律宾登陆的超级台风海燕造成的损失。超级台风海燕可能是有记录以来最强的登陆热带气旋。风、浪、浪和碎片造成的破坏是风暴的特征，对建筑物的依赖性不高。专业组织美国土木工程师协会赞助了一个八人小组，在现场收集损坏数据。这个由国家科学基金会赞助的项目将允许将数据存放在一个中央网站上，并允许美国其他指定的专家实时查看数据、发表评论和进行分析。一个网站的好处是数据将保存在一个地点。由于超强台风海燕(可能)是历史上有记录以来最强的登陆风暴，从设计角度来说，它代表了信封的一端。因此，同时确定危险和损坏级别将很好地估计损坏的类型和数量，以及可能在美国发生的故障机制。PI将在研究所的专用服务器上建立一个网站，该服务器可以与美国的实地调查人员以及专家进行互动连接。将制定一项协议，用于数据上传和共享。美国的专家可以对数据进行分析和评论。现场小组将记录两层住宅结构、教堂、机场、桥梁、码头和政府大楼的损坏数据。损害数据、评论和分析在三年内可用时将被转移到国家储存库。

This Rapid Response Grant (RAPID) project is to establish an interactive web site for the data obtained by field team documenting damage from Super Typhoon Haiyan that made landfall in Philippines. Super Typhoon Haiyan may have been the strongest land falling tropical cyclone in recorded history. The damage caused by wind, wave, surge, and debris are characteristics of the storm and not highly dependent on the structures. American Society of Civil Engineers, a professional organization, has sponsored an eight person team to collect damage data in the field. This project sponsored by the National Science Foundation will permit deposition of data at one central web site and allow other designated specialists in the United States to view the data, make comments and pursue analysis on real-time basis. The advantage of one web site is that the data will be preserved at one location.Because Super Typhoon Haiyan was (probably) the strongest recorded land falling storm in history, it represents one end of the envelope for design purposes. For this reason, ascertaining both the hazard and damage levels will give a good estimate of the types and quantities of damage, and failure mechanisms that might occur in the United States. The PI will establish a web site on a dedicated server at the Institution which can provide interactive connection to field investigators as well as to specialists in the U.S. A protocol will be developed for data uploading and sharing. The specialists in the U.S. can provide analysis and comments on the data. The field team will document damage data on two-story residential structures, churches, airport, bridges, docks and government buildings. The damage data, comments and analysis will be transferred to a national repository when available within three years.
