چکیده
In general, earthquake disasters in urban areas can hardly be handled by the operable disaster response teams of the affected region. An efficient and integrated disaster management could support their activities and help to limit human losses. Based on EQSIM, a damage estimation tool developed within the German Collaborative Research Centre 461: “Strong Earthquakes, a Challenge for Geosciences and Civil Engineering”, the Disaster Management Tool (DMT) was developed. Its concept is presented in this article.
