Advanced documentation technologies for people-centred preparedness and re-construction in Bela, India (2024)
Journal Article
Devilat, B. M., Lanuza, F., Mane, M., & Pithawalla, Z. (2024). Advanced documentation technologies for people-centred preparedness and re-construction in Bela, India. Disaster Prevention and Management, https://doi.org/10.1108/dpm-12-2023-0316

Purpose

Despite the recurrence of earthquakes, responses are usually triggered afterwards, lacking mitigation strategies to diminish risks. Damaged dwellings cannot be immediately reinforced to continue inhabitation, generating disruption. Repairs...
