Types of community-focused organisations for disaster risk reduction in the Longmen Shan Fault area

In the past 10 years, both the Wenchuan earthquake (2008, Magnitude?=?8.0) and the Lushan earthquake (2013, Magnitude?=?7.0) struck in the Longmen Shan Fault area, causing extraordinary human and economic losses. After the Wenchuan earthquake, the Chinese government began promoting the Community for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (CDPM) project nationwide to enhance community-level disaster-resistance capacities. Due to post-earthquake demand, CDPM construction in the Longmen Shan Fault area involved many diverse organisations, each of which had different organisational leadership models, which greatly influenced the CDPM characteristics and mechanisms. From long-term field research in 23 CDPM organisations in Longmen Shan Fault area, four types of CDPM organisations were found, including eight Government-oriented CDPM, six Resident-oriented CDPM, seven NGO-oriented CDPM and two Enterprise-oriented CDPM, forming a multiple organisation-oriented CDPM (M-CDPM) model. As there was only 85?km between the Wenchuan earthquake and the Lushan earthquake epicentres, many of the hardest-hit regions were the same; therefore, most CDPM organisations examined in this study were established after the Wenchuan earthquake and their effectiveness was tested in the Lushan earthquake. Therefore, research on the M-CDPM gives valuable information and provides a practical perspective for community-level disaster risk reduction.     

湖北省重大自然灾害数据库的设计与应用

自然灾害,尤其是重大自然灾害是影响生产布局、制约区域经济发展的重要因素,在重大灾害中,气象灾害和地震灾害是对人类威胁最大的灾种。湖北省地处长江中游,是我国重大自然灾害的多发区与重灾区,其减灾、防灾的研究具特别重要的意义。通过对湖北省历代有关气象灾害和地震灾害历史文献的收集、整理、分等分级,并且在计算机软硬件平台的支持下生成数据库,将零散、杂乱的各处有关灾害的史料变成一个有序的信息源,为有关抗灾、防     

皖07井水位与地震关系初探

从分析皖０７井水位的映震能力入手,探讨地下水与地震的关系。文中着重对１９９６年１１月９日南黄海６１级等４次中强地震前该井水位的异常特征进行分析,并对该井水位映震的机理提出一些粗浅的看法。     

巢湖14~#井水位微动态异常研究

应用微动态异常频次、Ｍ２波振幅比等方法,对巢湖１４＃井水位１９８７～１９９７年进行了全过程的分析研究。研究结果表明：在华东几次中强震前,该井水位的微动态异常频次在地震前３～４个月有明显增高的异常显示,而水位Ｍ２波振幅比在地震前也存在３～４个月的下降异常。由此可以认为该井有可能成为华东及东部沿海５级以上地震的灵敏井点之一,而且在地震的短期预测方面可能会提供有益的异常信息。     

基于计算机网络技术的天津市防震减灾技术系统

随着计算机的普及和网络技术的不断成熟,建立以计算机网络为依托的防震减灾地震快速响应系统已成为可能。“九五”期间,天津市地震局就计算机网络技术在防震减灾技术系统建设中的应用方面进行了尝试。通过计算机通信网络的建立,将地震监测预报、震后快速速报、早期趋势判定等工作环节有机地联系起来,在实际中发挥了重要作用。     

MapInfo在合肥遥测台网地震速报中的初步应用

MapInfo是目前流行的地理信息系统 (GIS)应用软件之一 ,由于其强大的地图功能 ,在地震监测预报中得到了越来越广泛的应用。安徽省地震局合肥遥测台网不久前完成了台网自己的速报软件的开发研制工作 ,其中运用了MapInfo部分图形操作功能。本文介绍MapInfo技术在台肥遥测台网地震速报中的一些具体应用     

Changes in housing in Guatemala following the 1976 earthquake: With special reference to earthen structures and how they are perceived by disaster victims*

This paper reports on what has happened to earthen structures in 26 Guatemalan communities studied over a 4-year period since the 1976 earthquake. The data were obtained from three waves of personal interviews with 1472 randomly sampled household heads. The results show that adobe, which was the primary housing material before the earthquake was heavily damaged in that event. As a consequence the number of adobe structures and of other earthen structures has been drastically reduced. The people of Guatemala individually and because of agency housing programs have abandoned adobe as a building material and turned to concrete block and wood. Surviving earthen structures have not been improved substantially and remain with largely the same structural features as before the earthquake. The greatest improvement is in the use of comer posts or columns in the walls but most of these are made of untreated crude logs or lumber, subject to rot and termite damage. Little information on aseismic housing seems to have spread either within the earthquake area or in the unaffected areas surrounding it. A program to spread information on how to use adobe in aseismic designs needs to be conducted along with one to assist citizens to aquire the resources necessary to improve the earthquake vulnerability of houses.     

煤气管道的震害率分析

埋地管道的地震危险性分析方法可以分为理论分析法和经验统计法。震害率是经验统计法中常用的一个概念。埋地管道在地震中破坏的主要原因是地面运动和场地土液化等引起的场地土失效，另外管线的接口类型、管材、管径等也是决定其震害的因素。在查阅相关文献的基础上，对埋地管道的震害率分析方法进行了综述，并运用经验统计法提出了便于使用的煤气管道震害率估算表达式。     

瑞昌地震后鄱阳湖口地区的设计地震动参数校核研究

2005年11月26日在江西九江、瑞昌间发生了5.7级地震,震中烈度达7度强。瑞昌地震后,开展了对鄱阳湖口地区重大工程设计地震动参数的校核研究,分析了瑞昌地震后区域地震背景变化和地震震后活动趋势,对发震构造进行了综合判定,划分出了瑞昌潜在震源区,并针对该地区某大型桥梁进行了地震危险性分析和设计地震动工程参数的校核计算。结果表明,瑞昌地震是近场区外的中强地震,对鄱阳湖口地区设计地震动工程参数影响很小。本文的工作为破坏性地震震后重大工程设计地震动参数的校核工作提供了范例。     

Post-traumatic stress disorder and comorbid depression among survivors of the 1999 earthquake in Turkey

This study examined the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid depression some three years after the August 1999 earthquake in Turkey among a sample of 769 survivors relocated to a permanent housing site built for homeless survivors in the epicentre region. Time since trauma was 3.1 years for 81 per cent of the participants and 3.9 years for the remainder. Survivors were assessed using the Screening Instrument for Traumatic Stress in Earthquake Survivors, an easily administered self-rating scale with demonstrated validity. The estimated rates of PTSD and comorbid depression were 40 per cent and 18 per cent, respectively. Linear regression analyses showed that PTSD strongly related to fear during the earthquake, while depression related to loss of family members. These results suggest that catastrophic earthquakes have long-term psychological consequences and highlight the need for a cost-effective mental health care model for earthquake survivors.
