Situated on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean, the US Pacific Northwest Region and Japan face significant earthquake risks from similar geophysical conditions. The Pacific Northwest is considered overdue for a Cascadia Subduction Zone 8.0–9.2 magnitude megaquake. When it happens, the estimated direct fatalities for Oregon and Washington states are up to 10,000, with economic losses of more than $80 billion. For the comparably sized region of Japan facing a Nankai megathrust earthquake, estimated fatalities are 80,000–323,000 lives and about $900 billion in economic loss. In the immediate aftermath of a megaquake, most of the disaster response agencies and personnel, if not all, will be overwhelmed and many neighborhoods in the region will need to rely on themselves to maintain essential activities for a prolonged period. To support these essential activities, communications will need to be robust enough to function under highly uncertain circumstances, and to enable real-time and reliable information sharing for efficient resource allocation and matching. This proposal represents the US portion of a planning grant for a collaboration with researchers from multiple Japanese Universities as part of the NSF/JST collaboration for the Smart and Connected Community Program.This planning grant builds the capacity of a partnership of engineers and planners on both sides of the Pacific Ocean (Seattle area and Japan) to developing these critically needed communications and information-sharing technologies. The joint team will partner with three communities in Washington State and the city of Nagoya in Japan, to ensure that initial technical prototype ideas have real, place-specific relevance and applicability. Focus groups and community workshops will identify specific community needs, values, resources and concerns, and provide a feedback loop for evaluating the prototypes. It is expected that by working with these communities, the technological tools to be developed will be socially integrated, not only helping communities to address the critical need to prepare for a possible mega-earthquake but also to enhance resilience in the face of a wide range of life uncertainties and disruptions, and to improve communities’ daily quality of life.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

美国太平洋西北地区和日本位于太平洋两侧，由于相似的地球物理条件，太平洋西北地区被认为早该发生卡斯卡迪亚俯冲带 8.0-9.2 级特大地震，预计将造成直接死亡。俄勒冈州和华盛顿州的地震造成的损失高达 10,000 人，经济损失超过 800 亿美元；而日本同样面积的地区则面临南开特大地震，预计死亡人数为 10,000 人。特大地震发生后，将造成 80,000-323,000 人的生命和约 9000 亿美元的经济损失，大多数救灾机构和人员（如果不是全部的话）都将不堪重负，该地区的许多社区将需要依靠自己来维持。为了支持这些重要活动，通信需要足够强大，以便在高度不确定的情况下发挥作用，并实现实时、可靠的信息分配共享，以实现高效的资源和匹配。的作为 NSF/JST 智能互联社区计划合作的一部分，为与多所日本大学的研究人员合作提供规划补助金。该规划补助金增强了太平洋两岸（西雅图）工程师和规划人员的合作能力该联合团队将与华盛顿州和日本名古屋市的三个社区合作，以确保最初的技术原型想法具有真实的、针对特定地点的相关性。适用性。焦点小组和社区研讨会将确定具体的社区需求、价值观、资源和关注点，并提供评估原型的反馈循环，预计通过与这些社区合作，将开发的技术工具将融入社会，不仅帮助社区满足为可能发生的特大地震做好准备的迫切需要，同时提高面对广泛的生活不确定性和干扰的恢复能力，并改善社区的日常生活质量。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被视为值得通过使用评估来支持基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
