Preliminary Study of Seismic Response and Disaster Prevention Information System

Preliminary Study of Seismic Response and Disaster Prevention Information System

Along with the development and updating of Taiwan Earthquake Loss Estimation System(TELES), the databases and seismic disaster assessment models have been fully developed in National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE). However, those valuable data and research results could not be shared with public due to expensive GIS software and for protection of intellectual property right. From the information sharing point of view, NCREE planed to build an information system through the web geographic information system(Web-GIS) technology. Starting in 2008, 'Seismic Response and Disaster Prevention Information System' was set up; it integrated the result of early assessment of seismic disaster and provided information to rescue organizations.
