SATREPS: Project for Development of Integrated Expert System for Estimation and Observation of Damage Level of Infrastructure in Lima Metropolitan Area
Development of a disaster information integration system—capable of quickly grasping information about the occurrence of earthquake and tsunami disasters and about ensuing damage to buildings and infrastructure, integrating that information, and displaying it in real time to people in charge of implementing disaster countermeasures?could contribute to a significant reduction in the number of people harmed or killed because they failed to flee in time, and would likely be adopted in earthquake-prone countries around the world.
