On September 21, 1999 central Taiwan was struck by a devastating earthquake resulting in over 2400 deaths, thousands of collapsed and severely damaged buildings, and economic losses of over US$20 billion. This book describes the earthquake performance, emergency response, and recovery for the following lifeline systems: electric power, water, wastewater, communications, roads and bridges, railroads, ports, gas, and liquid fuels. In addition, the impact of lifeline disruption on emergency response capabilities of rescue activities is discussed.
