ImageCat Co-sponsors 2nd International Workshop on the Use of Remote Sensing for Post-disaster Response Newport Beach- October 2004. The 2nd International Workshop on the Use of Remote Sensing for Post-disaster Response was held on October 7-8th, at the Radisson Hotel in Newport Beach. Co-sponsored by ImageCat, Inc., the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), the University of California at Irvine (UCI), and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), this workshop marked the formal establishment of an EERI Subcommittee on Remote Sensing. The subcommittee will be chaired by Ron Eguchi, ImageCat President and CEO. Dr. Beverley Adams, Remote Sensing Group Leader at ImageCat, chaired sessions in which researchers from the US, Japan and Europe presented papers addressing the use of satellite and airborne imagery for post-earthquake and multi-hazard damage assessment and building inventory development. Lively discussion sessions rounded off each day, exploring the development of a standardized remote sensing-based earthquake damage scale, and the integration of remote sensing data within multi-hazard loss estimation. The keynote address was given by Professor Shinozuka, UCI Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UCI. The 3rd International Workshop on the Use of Remote Sensing for Post-disaster Response will be hosted by Chiba University, in Tokyo, Japan, in September/October 2005. A CD of the workshop presentations and accompanying papers will be published in early 2005 by MCEER (www.mceer.buffalo.edu/publications).
