RECOVERY and RECONSTRUCTION after the PAKISTAN
EARTHQUAKE

• CHOOSING OPTIONS THAT WILL FACILITATE LONG-TERM
  RECOVERY FROM THE OCTOBER 8, 2005 DISASTER

OCTOBER 8, 2005 PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE

LONG-TERM RECOVERY NEEDS AFTER PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE

• NEED 2 TO 3 MILLION NEW DWELLINGS THAT ARE
  EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT.
  
• NEED NEW SCHOOLS THAT ARE EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT.
• NEED NEW HOSPITALS THAT ARE EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT.
  
  
• NEED INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT.

4
GOAL

• TO MARSHAL AND INTEGRATE THE COMMUNITYS STAPLE
  FORCES,..
  
• GIVING THEM EQUITY IN DESIGNING PROCESSES FOR
  BECOMING EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT.

5
OBJECTIVES

• TO BECOME RESILIENT TO GROUND SHAKING,
  LANDSLIDES, AND AFTERSHOCKS

• TO ADOPT AND IMPLEMENT PUBLIC POLICY MANDATES FOR
  MITIGATION, PREPAREDNESS, EMERGENCY RESPONSE, AND
  RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION

6
OBJECTIVES

• USE STATE-OF-ART TOOLS FOR ASSESSING HAZARDS AND
  RISK (E.G., GROUND SHAKING MAPS AND HAZUS)
  

• USE PROVEN TECHNOLOGY FOR REDUCING VULNERABILITY
  IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT (E.G., ENERGY
  DISSIPATION)
  

7
PROCESSES FOR BECOMING EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT

• INCREASED PUBLIC AWARENESS
• IMPROVED PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
• EXPANDED MONITORING AND WARNING SYSTEMS

• MODERN BUILDING CODES FOR NEW BUILDINGS
• MODERN STANDARDS FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE
• STRENGTHENING AND RETROFIT FOR EXISTING
  STRUCTURES
  
• EXPANDED INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

8
STARTING POINTS

• IN-COUNTRY BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCH
• LESSONS FROM THE OCTOBER 8, 2005 DISASTER

• MAPS
• INFORMATION
• GUIDELINES FOR APPLICATIONS BY EMERGENCY
  MANAGERS, BUILDING OFFICIALS, AND URBAN PLANNERS

9
LESSONS FROM PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE

• THE EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED ALONG THE MAIN BOUNDARY
  THRUST ZONE (MBT).
  
• THE MBT RUNS ALONG THE HIMALAYAN ARC FOR ABOUT
  2,500 KM..

10
LESSONS FROM PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE

• CONSTRUCTION WAS MAINLY CONCENTRATED ON THE
  FLOOD- PLAIN DEPOSITS OF THE NEEHLAN, JAHLUM, AND
  KUNHAR RIVERS.
  
• BUILDINGS IM MUZAFFARABAD SITED ON SAND AND
  GRAVEL DEPOSITS WERE SEVERELY DAMAGED.
  
• BUILDINGS SITED ON ROCK WERE NOT SEVERELY
  DAMAGED.
