About EERI and the Learning from Earthquakes Program
About EERI ● Global earthquake engineering institute dedicated to reducing earthquake risk ● Non-profit, technical membership society with: ○ 3,000 members, 14 Regional Chapters ○ 65 Student Chapters & growing ○ 8 Full-time Staff + Interns
The Learning from Earthquakes Program ● Flagship program of EERI ● Conducting reconnaissance for over 70 years ● The mission of the Learning from Earthquakes (LFE) Program is to accelerate and increase learning from earthquake- induced disasters that affect the natural, built, social and political environments worldwide.
LFE Products ● Virtual Clearinghouse Websites with: ○ Resource libraries ○ Photo Galleries ○ Data Maps ● Reconnaissance Reports ● Briefing Webinars ● EQ Spectra special issues
LFE Executive Committee Led by a dedicated group of expert volunteers!
LFE Activities ● Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance ● Earthquake Clearinghouses and Reconnaissance Coordination ● Virtual Earthquake Reconnaissance Team (VERT) ● LFE Travel Study Program ● Resilience Reconnaissance
Virtual Earthquake Reconnaissance Team Engaging Younger Members to Support Earthquake Reconnaissance VERT members created rapid summaries of impacts days after the M 7.5 Palu, Indonesia quake and associated tsunami. Read the report here
Virtual Earthquake Reconnaissance Team 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 Join Vert! https://ymc.eeri.org/virtual-earthquake-reconnaissance-team-vert/
LFE Travel Study Program Creating Learning Opportunities for the Next Generation EERI is teaming up with QuakeCoRE for the 2019 Travel Study Program: New Zealand, May 5-12, 2019 Applications for the program are due November 19, 2019 APPLY NOW
Resilience Reconnaissance Developing New Tools for Resilience Reconnaissance The 2017 Housner Fellows are exploring ways to integrate resilience reconnaissance into the LFE program.
Business Resilience Survey 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 efforts include: ● Creating an initial survey set (Physical Building Damage and Business Impacts) ● Creating intermediate and final surveys that will focus on broader resilience questions ● Create an implementation protocol for effective survey deployment
Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance and Clearinghouses
What is Earthquake Reconnaissance? What it is not … What it is... ● Scientific or engineering ● Emergency response ● Post-earthquake building tagging investigation aimed at ● Support for detailed analysis, documenting important observations and identifying repairs, or reconstruction. research topics and lessons for practice.
EERI’s Response to Earthquakes ● The Virtual Earthquake Reconnaissance Team (VERT) ● Virtual Clearinghouse Websites ● EERI reconnaissance teams ● Topic-focused teams ● Participate in physical clearinghouses ● Coordination of international reconnaissance teams
Virtual Clearinghouse Operations A virtual clearinghouse ● website will be activated ~24 hours after an earthquake ● Main location for disseminating reconnaissance photos, data, and reports ● 25 virtual earthquake clearinghouses established since 2009
Virtual Clearinghouse Photo Gallery
EERI Photo Upload Tool:Photo Gallery ● Photo Gallery is EERI’s main tool for post-reconnaissa nce ○ 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.
Virtual Clearinghouse Data Map
Physical Clearinghouse Operations ● A physical clearinghouse is a location where field investigators can come together to coordinate and share observations ● 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
The California Earthquake Clearinghouse Maggie Ortiz-Millan, Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI)
History ● First Clearinghouse called for by Gov. Ronald Reagan after 1971 San Fernando Earthquake ● 10 other Clearinghouse Activations: ● 1975 - Oroville ● 1987 - Whittier Narrows - M6.1 ● 1989 - Loma Prieta - M6.9 ● 1992 - Landers - M7.5 ● 1994 - Northridge - M6.7 ● 2001 - Nisqually, WA - M6.8 ● 2010 - El Mayor Cucapah – M7.2 ● 2011 - Tohoku Tsunami in CA ● 2013 - La Habra – M4.0 (virtual only) ● 2014 - South Napa – M6.0
USGS Circular 1242 ● The Clearinghouse is a requirement of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) “to ensure an orderly post -earthquake technical reconnaissance” ● Establishes a clearinghouse within 1 day of a significant earthquake where investigators can meet to review progress ● USGS, FEMA, and EERI work together on behalf of NEHRP ● NEHRP recognizes that California already has formalized the process for establishing a Clearinghouse ● Both the specific design and operations of the Clearinghouse are the responsibility of these participants, but general operational plans must be prepared in advance if a fully functional Clearinghouse is to be quickly established.

Activation ● The physical clearinghouse will be put into operation only after earthquakes that meet any of the following parameters: ● When an urban area is struck by a damaging earthquake that has a magnitude of 6 or above. ● Upon recommendation of CGS, USGS, EERI, and Cal-EMA, even when the above magnitude threshold is not exceeded, but damage is significant. ● In a remote, less densely populated area, when an earthquake is large enough to damage structures and lifelines.
Operations ● Facilitate field investigations by earth scientists, engineers and social scientists, who converge on the disaster site ● Assist researchers in accessing perishable data through coordination with emergency management organizations and law enforcement ● Provide a forum for sharing information via meetings at a physical location (field office) and through our new virtual Clearinghouse Nisqually, WA Clearinghouse, Feb. 2001 ● Track fieldwork progress and minimize duplication of effort; organize data and imagery collected via various technologies and applications and synthesize information for response agencies Clearinghouse does not direct or control activities of ● participants
Objectives ● The Clearinghouse is set up following a damaging earthquake to coordinate the collection and classification of the geological and engineering effects of the earthquake. ● Results are communicated to Emergency Responders and partner agencies ● The result will be a state that is better able to withstand and recover from future earthquakes.
Coordination with Emergency Management ● The Clearinghouse is not a response organization ● The Clearinghouse does communicate with response organizations, so it is important to be able to operate within emergency management frameworks to facilitate communication ● The federal National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a common approach for managing incidents ● The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized management tool for meeting the demands of small or large emergency or non- emergency situations
