Background
After a disaster, particularly a destructive earthquake, but also severe floods, landslides and windstorms, there is an urgent need to quickly check the integrity of buildings and transport networks affected by the event; to restore services and shelter the displaced. Should engineers and/or architects apply their own evaluation methodologies, there is a greater chance of conflicting evaluation reports among agencies and professionals. Such circumstance will add to the difficulties of the disaster response and recovery.
