This proposed research is to enable 15 of the nation's top experts in earthquake hazard mitigation and natural disaster reduction to be part of the United States delegation to the 2nd International Conference on Urban Disaster Reduction which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan on November 27-29, 2007. They will present papers detailing state of the art US research and practice in earthquake engineering and multi hazard disaster mitigation. The conference is being organized by the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) in Taiwan, the Institute of Social Safety Sciences (ISSS) in Japan, and the EERI from the United States. Total attendance by Americans should be about 30 individuals. This award will support the travel of 15 of the American researchers. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) is paying the expenses of the remaining delegates. The conference includes three plenary sessions: 1) the Impact of Climate Changes and Corresponding countermeasures, 2) The Global Impact of Catastrophic Events on International Society, and 3) International Collaboration for Disaster Reduction. In addition, eight working groups will focus upon 1) Policy Analysis for Urban Disaster Reduction, 2) Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment, 3) Application of Early Warning systems by Practices, Implementation or Policy, 4) Advanced Technology for Disaster Reduction, 5) Communication Innovation and Information Integration, 6) Socio-economic Dimensions of Urban Disaster Management, 7) Relief, Recovery, Relocation and Reconstruction after Catastrophic Events, and 8) Lessons Learned and New Directions for Disaster Management. The intellectual merit of the 2ICUDR is reflected in the opportunity the conference provides for cross fertilization between a uniquely broad range of disciplines involved in urban disaster reduction. The world's leading researchers and practitioners in emergency management, architecture and urban design, structural and geotechnical engineering, public administration, sociology and social psychology, and the decision sciences will come together. For the first time, they will meet with the world's leaders in issues associated with global warming. Researchers from these two major disciplines, which have potentially so much to gain from each other, do not typically meet or carry out research together. As in previous international conferences dealing with urban hazard reduction, one anticipates that the 2ICUDR will stimulate collaborative research between climate and hazard researchers who have much to share in addressing challenges of risk reduction, policy analysis, risk perception and communication, and the mitigation of social and economic impacts, etc. This conference will have substantial broader impact. It is anticipated that the 2ICUDR will influence future programs of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR). The conference will provide examples of successful disaster mitigation policies and programs to those who attend the conference from both highly industrial as well as developing countries. Papers and working group records will be issued as proceedings and made available throughout the world. It is anticipated that the proceedings will be highly valued by those involved in reducing disaster losses from natural, technical, climatological, and human caused hazards affecting the most vulnerable populations in the US as well as those in countries throughout Asia.

这项拟议的研究是为了使该国15名在地震危害和减少自然灾害的高级专家能够成为美国代表团的一部分，参加了第二届城市灾害国际灾难会议，该会议将于11月27日至29日在台湾举行。 ，2007年。他们将发表论文，详细介绍美国地震工程和多种危害灾难灾害的最先进的研究和实践。该会议由台湾的国家科学技术减少灾难中心（NCDR），日本社会安全科学研究所（ISS）和美国的EERI组织。美国人的总出勤率应约为30个人。该奖项将支持15位美国研究人员的旅行。地震工程研究所（EERI）正在支付其余代表的费用。 会议包括三个全体会议：1）气候变化和相应的对策的影响，2）灾难性事件对国际社会的全球影响； 3）国际减少灾难的合作。此外，八个工作组将重点关注1）减少城市灾难的政策分析，2）多危险风险评估，3）按实践，实施或政策应用预警系统，4）4）先进技术减少灾难，5）沟通创新和信息整合，6）城市灾难管理的社会经济维度，7）灾难性事件后的救济，恢复，搬迁和重建，以及8）学习的经验教训以及灾难管理的新方向。 2ICUDR的智力优点反映在会议为减少城市灾难的独特学科之间的交叉施肥提供的机会中。全球领先的紧急管理，建筑和城市设计，结构和岩土工程，公共管理，社会学和社会心理学以及决策科学的研究人员和从业人员将融合在一起。他们将第一次与世界领导人会面，以解决与全球变暖有关的问题。这两个主要学科的研究人员彼此之间有可能获得很多收益，通常不会结识或进行研究。就像以前有关减少城市危害的国际会议一样，人们预计2ICUDR将刺激气候与危害研究人员之间的合作研究，这些研究人员在解决降低风险，政策分析，风险感知和沟通以及社会社会的挑战方面有很多分享和经济影响等。这次会议将产生更大的影响。预计2ICUDR将影响联合国国际灾难减少战略（UNISDR）的未来计划。该会议将为从高度工业和发展中国家参加会议的人提供成功缓解灾难政策和计划的例子。论文和工作组记录将作为程序发行，并在全球范围内提供。预计，诉讼将受到涉及从自然，技术，气候和人类减少灾难损失的人的高度评价，造成影响美国最脆弱人群以及整个亚洲国家的危害。
