The UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) has decided to mount a reconnaissance mission to Eastern Sichuan, China following the earthquake of magnitude 7.9 MW, which occurred on the 12th May 2008. A team of nine people, (earthquake engineering, geotechnics and seismology experts), are planning to leave for Chengdu, China on 11th July 2008 and spend seven days in the disaster zone. Although two months have passed from the event, very little information has been made available to the International engineering community regarding the extent and type of damage incurred. This has spurred the worldwide earthquake engineering community to look into the feasibility of using new technologies to obtain damage information remotely. This grant application seeks financial support to help meet the travel costs of the participating academic team members and to aid EEFIT support a new International collaboration to set up a web portal (the Virtual Disaster Viewer ) that will function as a social networking tool , where members of the global earthquake engineering community, especially those belonging to EEFIT (UK), Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI, US) and Multidisciplinary Centre for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER, US), can review and provide their assessment of damage by comparing before and after satellite images of the affected areas. The outcomes of this effort will give the community an assessment of regional damage in an event where little information is available and access difficult. It will serve as an important test for using remote sensing technologies as an impact assessment/damage observation protocol, and the results will be fully viewable and available to the public, promoting awareness of earthquake risk and of research carried out by the UK earthquake engineering community. No such joint reconnaissance and research effort has ever been undertaken between members of EEFIT, MCEER and EERI (the largest and most active earthquake reconnaissance groups in the UK and US) hence this initiative will strengthen existing, and foster new relationships between researchers and engineers belonging to EEFIT, EERI and MCEER.

英国地震工程现场调查团队（EEFIT）已决定在2008年5月12日发生的7.9兆瓦地震发生7.9兆瓦的地震后，将侦察任务执行到中国的东部。尽管活动已经过去了两个月，但国际工程社区就造成的损害的程度和类型提供了很少的信息。这激发了全球地震工程社区，以研究使用新技术远程获取损害信息的可行性。 This grant application seeks financial support to help meet the travel costs of the participating academic team members and to aid EEFIT support a new International collaboration to set up a web portal (the Virtual Disaster Viewer ) that will function as a social networking tool , where members of the global earthquake engineering community, especially those belonging to EEFIT (UK), Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI, US) and Multidisciplinary Centre for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER, US),可以通过比较受影响区域的卫星图像来审查并提供对损害的评估。这项工作的结果将使社区评估区域损失的情况，在很少有信息且访问困难的情况下。它将作为使用遥感技术作为影响评估/损害观察方案的重要测试，结果将是完全可见的，可供公众使用，促进了对地震风险的认识和英国地震工程社区进行的研究。因此，EFIT，MCEER和EERI成员（英国和我们最大，最活跃的地震侦察组织）之间从未进行过这种联合侦察和研究工作，因此该计划将加强现有的现有，并促进属于EEFIT，EERI和MCEER的研究人员与工程师之间的新关系。
