A Program to Maximize Learning from Destructive Earthquakes

这个奖项是为了地震的延续 工程研究所（EERI）计划， 最大限度地从破坏性地震（LFE）中学习。 地震后立即进行调查， 提高地震影响的技术知识， 提供了重要的新信息， 改善建筑做法，从而促进 减少地震损失。 EERI从地震中学习计划的范围 将继续开展三项主要活动： （l）进行震后现场调查; 2)为地震后提供信息交换所 实地调查;以及 3)通过公众传播所吸取的经验教训 简报和特别报告。 EERI将获得越来越集中的信息， 地震对建筑环境的影响， 在社会竞技场中的伴随后果; 记录这些调查的结果;改善 今后开展工作的程序和准则 调查;并扩大传播 给研究人员、执业工程师、 以及其他关心减少未来地震的人 损失

This award is for the continuation of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's (EERI) Program to Maximize Learning from Destructive Earthquakes (LFE). Conduct of immediate post-earthquake investigations has improved technical knowledge of earthquake effects and has provided significant new information leading to improved building practices, thereby contributing to the reduction of earthquake losses. The scope of the EERI Learning from Earthquakes Program will continue to involve three principal activities: l) Conducting post-earthquake field investigations; 2) Providing a clearinghouse for post-earthquake field investigations; and 3) Disseminating the lessons learned through public briefings and special reports. EERI will obtain increasingly focused information about the effects of earthquakes on the built environment and the concomitant ramifications in the societal arena; document findings from those investigations; improve procedures and guidelines for conducting future investigations; and broaden the dissemination of lessons learned to researchers, practicing engineers, and others concerned about reducing future earthquake losses.
