- Abstract
- The volume contains the proceeding of the 'Workshop on Lessons from the World Trade Center Terrorist Attack: Management of Complex Civil Emergencies and Terrorism-Resistant Civil Engineering Design', conducted June 24 thru June 25th 2002, in New York. Abstracts recommendations and short biographical sketches of most authors are also included in the print volume. This product also include two CD-ROM's containing most of the presentations accompany text. The objective of this workshop is to bring together leaders from the earthquake engineering community, the blast engineering community, the social sciences and the emergencies response community, to identify possible linkages between earthquake-protection and terrorism-protection issues, and how groups focusing on these two different problems could potentially work together in order to achieve. Terrorism-resistant communities and enhance earthquake engineering practice. The workshops examined the managements of complex civil emergencies and terrorism-resistant civil engineering design. In this workshop, the type of terrorist attacks considered was limited to bombing. Topics covered include: How DID 911 help New York City Cope with the next Disaster; Achieving Resilience in the Face of Complex Civil Emergencies; The Tools To Achieve Resilience-State of the Art; The Tools to Achieve Resilience-The Future; and the Political, Economic and Engineering Fusion of Resilience-Enhancing Design.
