Annual Report and Accounts

This project investigates the application of remote sensing technologies within the specific operational context of emergency urban search and rescue (USAR) efforts post-disaster.

Following the 2020 earthquakes in Elazig and Izmir, Turkey, this EEFIT Resrech Grant 2022 winning project aims to construct comprehensive empirical fragility functions for reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame type structures and unreinforced masonry structures, from two damage datasets by employing statistical methods.

The PCC reports on the outcome of two complaints: 1st Complaint: PCC found that a member's WhatsApp messages were wholly inappropriate as a means of setting the terms of appointment with the member's client, and, that the resulting lack of clarity directly contributed to the client’s misunderstandings. 2nd Complaint: PCC found that a member’s lack of any follow-up in writing after the member's site-visit and investigation, was unfair to the Client and exacerbated his Client’s disappointment in relation to the service received. This is applicable even in the circumstances where a client requests that no formal report be produced.
