Disaster epidemiology and medical response in the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We examine the mortality and morbidity associated with earthquakes in the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan in 1999. METHODS Crude casualty data were collected from the reports of the government, local health bureaus, and 97 hospitals. The demographic data from the annual report of the Department of Interior were also employed for data analysis. Cross tables showing incidence of de...

متن کاملStudy on Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps of Taiwan after Chi-chi Earthquake
Probabilistic seismic hazard maps are widely used for engineering design, land use planning, and disaster mitigation etc. This study conducted a review of readily available information on tectonic setting, geology, and seismicity, and the attenuation of peak ground acceleration (PGA) of Taiwan for completing the revised probabilistic seismic hazard maps by the state-of-the-art probabilistic sei...
متن کاملSlip history and dynamic implications of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake
[1] We investigate the rupture process of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake using extensive near-source observations, including three-component velocity waveforms at 36 strong motion stations and 119 GPS measurements. A three-plane fault geometry derived from our previous inversion using only static data [Ji et al., 2001] is applied. The slip amplitude, rake angle, rupture initiation time, a...
متن کاملFault Rupture Process of the 20 September 1999 Chi - Chi , Taiwan , Earthquake
We modeled the source rupture process of the 20 September 1999 ChiChi, Taiwan, earthquake (Mw 7.6) using an integrated dataset of near-field strong ground motion and Global Positioning System observations. This large inland thrust earthquake produced a surface break more than 80 km long along the Chelungpu fault. The event triggered over 700 strong-motion instruments on the island of Taiwan. Th...
