What is Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance?

What it is...

  • Scientific or engineering

investigation aimed at documenting important

  • bservations and

identifying research topics and lessons for practice. What it is not…

  • Emergency response
  • Post-earthquake building

tagging

  • Support for detailed

analysis, repairs, or reconstruction.

SLIDE 20

EERI’s Response to Earthquakes

  • Virtual Clearinghouse Websites
  • The Virtual Earthquake Response Team (VERT)
  • EERI reconnaissance teams
  • Participate in physical clearinghouses
  • Coordination of international reconnaissance teams
  • Topic-focused teams
slide-21
SLIDE 21

Physical Clearinghouse Operations

  • A physical clearinghouse is a location

where field investigators can come together to coordinate and share

  • bservations
  • Set up & running within 24 hours after an

earthquake

  • As near to area of earthquake as practical
  • Co-located with FEMA’s DFO or other local

response field office if possible

Clearinghouse Exercise, Nov. 2004

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Virtual Clearinghouse Operations

  • A virtual clearinghouse website will be activated ~24 hours after an earthquake
  • Main location for disseminating reconnaissance photos, data, and reports
  • 24 virtual earthquake clearinghouses established since 2009

How is Reconnaissance Data Collected?

  • EERI encourages members to use one of two data

collection methods:

  • Batch Upload Tool: desktop app for uploading

batches of geotagged photos

  • Fulcrum Data Collection App: smart phone app for

use in the field

  • Both methods feed into virtual clearinghouse photo

gallery and data map

slide-30
SLIDE 30

EERI Photo Upload Tool:Photo Gallery

  • Photo Gallery is EERI’s main tool for

post-reconnaissance

  • Each Clearinghouse has its own Photo Gallery
  • Users can upload pictures to the Photo

Gallery

  • Users can also download the Photo

Gallery as a CSV file.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Introduction to Fulcrum and Its Uses

  • Data Collection Mobile App
  • Easy for users to access and use
  • users can upload pictures
  • Great for field data collection
  • GPS enabled
  • Has an array of “Record Types”
  • Fulcrum data is synced to the

Photo Gallery website

  • Ideal for situations, when

internet is not available

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Fulcrum Format

  • “User’s Information”
  • “User Information” will be auto-

populated after the first entry

  • Form Type
  • Detail
  • “Basic Information” and relevant

record questions

  • Quick
  • Only requires “Basic Information”
  • Record Types
slide-33
SLIDE 33

Different Record Types

There are 9 different record types in EERI’s Fulcrum Form:

  • Buildings
  • Lifelines (Electric, Water, Communications, etc.)
  • Bridges
  • Observed Emergency Response Activity
  • Liquefaction
  • Landslide
  • Fault Ruptures
  • Tsunami
  • Other Observations
slide-34
SLIDE 34

Different Record Types (Detailed Form) Continued

  • Each record type has relevant

questions for that specific record

  • For example...
  • Bridges record type ask for the

number of lanes, length of the bridge, and width of bridge

  • Building record type ask for number
  • f stories above and below ground,

and etc.

slide-35
SLIDE 35

EERI’s Photo Gallery and Fulcrum App

  • Photo Gallery Batch uploader is for desktops
  • Fulcrum App for mobile data collection
  • Both feed to the same virtual clearinghouse photo gallery and data

map

Business Resilience Survey Working Group

Develops new surveys to record physical damage and cascading economic impacts to business that have experienced a major US earthquake at various points throughout the response and recovery phase to track business impacts and recovery after future earthquake. Current working group current efforts

  • Create an initial survey set (Physical Building Damage and Business Impacts)
  • Create an implementation protocol for effective survey deployment
  • Consider intermediate and final surveys that will focus on broader resilience questions
slide-46
SLIDE 46

Virtual Earthquake Reconnaissance (VERT)

VERT Team supports EERI’s response to an earthquake by:

  • Creating rapid summaries of impacts for virtual clearinghouse websites
  • Assisting EERI reconnaissance teams prepare for deployment
  • Assisting EERI reconnaissance teams members with post-process data

Managed by the Younger Members Committee and the LFE program
