Abstract
The paper presents the researching actuality and development of earthquake disaster management in China, including earthquake disaster management models, public awareness training program of earthquake disaster mitigation, and the methods to estimate the earthquake risk and hazard. To Construct the Earthquake Disaster Management System, the computer technique is becoming the more and more important and powerful aided tool to manage the infrastructure information and assess the earthquake risk and hazard. The application and several cases of Geographical information system (GIS), globe positioning system (GPS) and remote sensing (RS) to build the earthquake disaster management system for Cities and large state-owned enterprise are introduced in this paper. Some details techniques in the procedure of building the digital earthquake disaster management system, including the integration methods, data transferring and data communication among 3S systems, are also discussed. The principle, design criteria, structure and functions of these systems are also described in this paper.
