Abstract:
ACI Committee 133, Disaster Reconnaissance, was established in 2013 to deploy teams to investigate damage from natural disasters. Critical lessons learned from the information gathered through deployments is reported to ACI’s technical committees and membership. To date, an ACI team has been deployed to investigate damage resulting from five earthquakes, one bridge collapse, and one wildfire. This article provides descriptions of these investigations, including references to reconnaissance reports and collected data.
