Although the performance was technically necessary and proportionate to what took place in a short time, also they had to improvise some aspects that are now collected in a publication

Inspection procedures to limit the damage, interventions demolition of buildings or areas where required, implementing interventions to keep damaged but recoverable buildings, and interventions of repair and reinforcement with reconstructions, are the most important lines of action develop buildings after an earthquake, after helping save lives.

These and other ideas have been discussed this morning in the round table 'interventions in the building of the city deconstructed', part of the International Conference on Architectural Works Intervention after Earthquake: L'Aquila (2009), Lorca (2011) and Emilia Romagna (2012), organized by the degrees in Architecture and Building Engineering UCAM.

After Lorca

For the director of the Degrees in Architecture and Building Engineering UCAM, Juan Roldan, in the earthquakes of Lorca, action at technical level "was proportional to what is necessary", taking place in a reduced time because "in 48 hours were already inspected the order of about 4,000 buildings. "

Nevertheless, in the technical field also they had to improvise some aspects that have served to limit overall performance of new protocols that minimize errors and avoid downtime during periods of emergency.

The result of this was the recent publication, 'Rapid Assessment of Damages in Emergency.

Turning protocols Performance Group Damage Assessment 'conducted by the Directorate General Activation and Performance of Damage Assessment Group, in collaboration with various entities among which is the Catholic University of Murcia through the Research Group TECNOS.
