The UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) has decided to mount a reconnaissance mission to Eastern Sichuan, China following the earthquake of magnitude 7.9 MW, which occurred on the 12th May 2008. A team of nine people, (earthquake engineering, geotechnics and seismology experts), are planning to leave for Chengdu, China on 11th July 2008 and spend seven days in the disaster zone. Although two months have passed from the event, very little information has been made available to the International engineering community regarding the extent and type of damage incurred. This has spurred the worldwide earthquake engineering community to look into the feasibility of using new technologies to obtain damage information remotely. This grant application seeks financial support to help meet the travel costs of the participating academic team members and to aid EEFIT support a new International collaboration to set up a web portal (the Virtual Disaster Viewer ) that will function as a social networking tool , where members of the global earthquake engineering community, especially those belonging to EEFIT (UK), Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI, US) and Multidisciplinary Centre for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER, US), can review and provide their assessment of damage by comparing before and after satellite images of the affected areas. The outcomes of this effort will give the community an assessment of regional damage in an event where little information is available and access difficult. It will serve as an important test for using remote sensing technologies as an impact assessment/damage observation protocol, and the results will be fully viewable and available to the public, promoting awareness of earthquake risk and of research carried out by the UK earthquake engineering community. No such joint reconnaissance and research effort has ever been undertaken between members of EEFIT, MCEER and EERI (the largest and most active earthquake reconnaissance groups in the UK and US) hence this initiative will strengthen existing, and foster new relationships between researchers and engineers belonging to EEFIT, EERI and MCEER.

2008年5月12日，中国四川东部发生7.9兆瓦级地震，英国地震工程现场调查小组（EEFIT）决定对该地震进行使命。由地震工程、岩土工程和地震学专家组成的九人小组计划于2008年7月11日前往中国成都，在灾区度过七天。虽然事件已经过去了两个月，但国际工程界几乎没有得到关于所造成损害的程度和类型的信息。这促使全球地震工程界研究利用新技术远程获取破坏信息的可行性。此拨款申请寻求财政支持，以帮助支付参与学术团队成员的差旅费，并帮助EEFIT支持新的国际合作，以建立一个门户网站（虚拟灾难查看器），将作为一个社交网络工具，在那里的成员，全球地震工程界，特别是那些属于EEFIT（英国），地震工程研究所（美国）和多学科地震工程研究中心（MCEER，美国），可以通过比较受灾地区之前和之后的卫星图像来审查和提供他们的损失评估。这一努力的成果将使社区能够在缺乏信息和难以进入的情况下对区域损害进行评估。它将作为使用遥感技术作为影响评估/损害观测协议的一个重要试验，其结果将完全可供公众查看和使用，从而提高对地震风险和联合王国地震工程界开展的研究的认识。EEFIT、MCEER和EERI（英国和美国最大和最活跃的地震侦察组织）成员之间从未进行过此类联合侦察和研究工作，因此这一举措将加强现有的，并促进属于EEFIT、EERI和MCEER的研究人员和工程师之间的新关系。
