3	Seismic Monitoring Advances in technology have facilitated rapid earthquake processing and the distribution of seismic information Maps of strong shaking (ShakeMap) are valuable new product for rapid response ANSS & CISN are effort to integrate separate seismic networks into a seamless monitoring system
4	Emergency Response HAZUS uses ShakeMap data and combines inventory to provide damage and loss estimate ShakeMap is being combined with bridge inventory to prioritize post-earthqake inspection Method for combining ShakeMap with the engineering intensity scale Method to prioritize inspection of water pipes by monitoring pressure
5	Reconnaissance Development of a system to train officials in damage assessment Proposal for a new standard for housing damage assessment New tools to facilitate the comprehensive collection of reconnaissance data
6	Disaster Process Approach for the systematic quantification of the disaster process Gaming simulation to train officials in disaster management and response 72 hours Different scenario Performance evaluation
7	Discussions: Seismic Monitoring and Emergency Response US & Japan have developed various kinds of seismic monitoring systems Some of the data is disseminated by Internet ShakeMap is very useful for the rapid emergency response Increasing reliance on ShakeMap prioritizing response raises question about the density of monitoring station Built environment inventory and damage monitoring provide important information for prioritizing the emergency response activities
8	Discussions: Reconnaissance US & Japan have been collecting various kinds of disaster related data For sharing the data, the standardized procedure needs to develop Due to privacy issues, sharing reconnaissance information among different organizations is not easy Need to develop appropriate protocols for promoting the future collaborative research
9	Discussions: Disaster Process Advances in technology provide more realistic training for disaster management Disaster process analysis provides fundamental information for generating scenarios Future Research Topics; Training System utilizing gaming simulation Damage inspection prioritizing method
