000019332 520__ $$2eng$$aPost-earthquake reconnaissance missions have been systematically undertaken since the 1960s by a variety of national and international teams of earthquake especialists, notably from UNESCO (1963-1980), the California based Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), by the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) and the Japanese Society for Civil Engineering (JSCE), by EEFIT in the UK, AFPS in France and others. These missions, beyond adding to global understanding of earthquake effects and ways to mitigate them through design, all have in addition the aim of communicating to those in the affected country the need for increased earthquake awareness and suggesting appropriate responses to improve seismic safety in the countries visited. This can be done, for example, by involving local specialists (engineers and scientists) in the mission teams, giving advice on the development of local building codes and on reconstruction, focussing part of the field effort on the study of vernacular housing and other special local problems, and by making the results of the investigation widely available for follow-up investigations. This paper will review the extent to which past earthquake field missions have contributed to the improvement of seismic safety globally, and will consider ways in which future field missions might be more effective.
