Introduction
Analysis of the Standard's Core Content
The DB/T 78-2018 standard defines a technical framework for using remote sensing imagery to assess hazard levels in meiseis zones, focusing on addressing the timeliness of traditional ground-based surveys. Following implementation, the assessment response time for earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater has been reduced to six hours.
Comparison of Technical Frameworks
| Evaluation Dimensions | Traditional Methods | Remote Sensing Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Local Sampling | Full Coverage |
| Response Time | 24-72 hours | 2-6 hours |
| Data Accuracy | Centimeters (Point) | Meters (Surface) |
Key Technical Indicators
- Image resolution requirements: The spatial resolution of remote sensing data used for assessment should reach 2-10 meters (Article 6.1.2)
- Response level:
- M<7.0: Start assessment within 2 hours
- M≥7.0: Complete preliminary assessment within 6 hours (Article 4.4)
- Assessment elements:
- Building damage rate (structural type needs to be distinguished)
- Scope of secondary geological hazards
- Damage to transportation infrastructure
Implementation recommendations
Data preparation phase
It is recommended to establish a rapid acquisition mechanism for multi-source remote sensing data, including:
- Pre-earthquake basic image library (1:5000 scale)
- Commercial satellite emergency procurement channel
- UAV emergency mapping plan
Evaluation and implementation phase
In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 7 of the standard, a three-level verification process is adopted:
- Automatic interpretation (AI identification of damaged areas)
- Manual review (expert confirmation of key areas)
- Ground sampling (10% field verification)
