Strategies for Damage Assessments and Emergency Response
Civil and structural engineers can provide crucial expertise following natural disasters, man-made catastrophes, and other accidents. In recent years we have experienced major terrorist attacks on buildings and on public transportation, devastating storms, and singular collapses of public structures. Even highly qualified engineers, when faced with a large disaster often feel overwhelmed and have initial difficulty dealing with the situation and knowing where to start. There is very little training on this topic that is targeted at the engineer. This paper discusses strategies from the author's experience. It is hoped that this will assist other engineers in coping with emergency situations, so that they can best apply their skill and knowledge for the public good.
