Earthquake Reconnaissance Data Sources, a Literature Review

Earthquakes are one of the most catastrophic natural phenomena. After an earthquake, earthquake reconnaissance enables effective recovery by collecting data on building damage and other impacts. This paper aims to identify state-of-the-art sources for assessment provide guidance more efficient collection. We have reviewed 39 articles that indicate used different authors collect related post-disaster progress after earthquakes between 2014 2021. The current collection methods been grouped into seven categories: fieldwork or ground surveys, omnidirectional imagery (OD), terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), remote sensing (RS), crowdsourcing platforms, social media (SM) closed-circuit television videos (CCTV). selection a particular source technique includes criteria depending what questions be answered these data. conclude modern missions cannot rely single source. Different should complement each other, validate collected systematically quantify damage. recent increase in number SM platforms demonstrates this is likely become increasingly important
