Search and Rescue: An Integrated Multidisciplinary Study

这项研究将调查人们是如何在地震和其他灾难中受伤和死亡的，他们是如何获救的，以及如何为受害者提供医疗护理。将在地震和其他自然灾害以及一些技术灾害的现场进行实地研究。将特别注意涉及建筑物和结构倒塌的情况。在每个地点将收集以下数据：(1)对建筑环境的破坏以进行工程分析，(2)伤亡情况，(3)搜救活动，以及(4)紧急医疗服务的提供。这些结果将被证明对在地震等环境风险较大的地区工作的设计师、面临大规模伤亡规划的紧急医疗官员有用，以及参与搜救计划的应急管理人员。

This study will investigate how people are injured and die in earthquakes and other disasters, how they are rescued, and how medical care is provided to victims. Field research will be conducted at the site of earthquakes and other natural disasters as well as some technological disasters. Particular attention will be given to situations involving building and structural collapse. At each site data will be gathered on: (1) damage to the built environment for engineering analysis, (2) casualties, (3) search and rescue activity, and (4) the provision of emergency medical services. The results should prove useful to designers working in areas subject to such environmental risks as earthquakes, to emergency medical officials confronted with planning for mass casualties, and to emergency managers involved in search and rescue planning.
