The UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) has decided to mount a reconnaissance mission to the Samoa Islands region following the earthquake of magnitude 8.0MW, which occurred on the 29th September 2009 and subsequent tsunami. A team of six people, (coastal and earthquake engineers), are planning to leave for Apia, Samoa on the 3rd November 2009 and spend 6 days in the disaster zone to conduct a technical evaluation of the earthquake and tsunami and carry out an assessment of the effectiveness of protection measures by surveying the damage and interviewing local government officials and survivors of the event. The four academic members of the team comprise the PI (Dr Alison Hunt-Raby, a Lecturer and coastal engineer from the University of Plymouth), the team leader (Dr Emily So, a Chartered Civil Engineer who will be employed as a researcher at the University of Plymouth) and two researchers from University College London (Tristan Robinson, a Teaching Fellow and Tristan Lloyd, a PhD student, both tsunami specialists). The further team members are practicing engineers with expertise in seismology, tsunami modelling and geotechnical engineering.This application seeks financial support to help meet the travel costs of the participating academic team members and to aid EEFIT support entry of collected field data (photographs and observations) into an improved version of the Virtual Disaster Viewer system developed following the EPSRC funded China Earthquake mission in 2008 (Grant Ref: EP/G030111/1). This platform will allow members of the global earthquake engineering community, especially to review and provide their assessment of damage by comparing before and after satellite images of the affected areas and to remotely and in real-time upload their own field data as it is collected for rapid dissemination. Dissemination through the improved Virtual Disaster Viewer system will increase the effectiveness of earthquake reporting, promoting awareness of earthquake risk. It will also be a shared repository for observations made by several international teams of experts. Hence, this initiative will continue to strengthen existing, and foster new relationships between researchers and engineers in EEFIT and the worldwide earthquake engineering community.

2009年9月29日发生8.0兆瓦级地震及随后的海啸后，英国地震工程现场调查小组（EEFIT）决定对萨摩亚群岛地区进行一次侦察使命。一个由6人组成的小组（海岸和地震工程师）计划于2009年11月3日前往萨摩亚阿皮亚，在灾区停留6天，对地震和海啸进行技术评估，并通过调查损失和采访当地政府官员和事件幸存者来评估保护措施的有效性。该小组的四名学术成员包括PI（讲师兼普利茅斯大学海岸工程师Alison Hunt-Raby博士），组长（特许土木工程师艾米丽So博士，将在普利茅斯大学担任研究员）和两名来自伦敦大学学院的研究人员（Tristan罗宾逊，教学研究员和Tristan Lloyd，博士生，均为海啸专家）。其他团队成员是具有地震学专业知识的执业工程师，海啸建模和岩土工程。该应用程序寻求财政支持，以帮助支付参与学术团队成员的差旅费，并帮助EEFIT支持收集的现场数据的输入（照片和观察）转换成一个改进版的虚拟灾难查看器系统，该系统是在2008年EPSRC资助的中国地震使命之后开发的（补助金编号：EP/G030111/1）。这一平台将使全球地震工程界的成员，特别是通过比较受灾地区前后的卫星图像，审查和提供他们对损害的评估，并在收集到现场数据后，远程和实时上传这些数据，以便迅速传播。通过改进的虚拟灾害观察系统进行传播，将提高地震报告的效力，提高对地震风险的认识。它还将成为若干国际专家小组所作意见的共同存放处。因此，这一倡议将继续加强现有的，并促进在EEFIT和世界各地的地震工程界的研究人员和工程师之间的新的关系。
