TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 497: Post-Extreme Event Damage Assessment and Response for Highway Bridges reviews the procedures that state departments of transportation and two local authorities, New York City and Los Angeles County, use to assess the damage in bridges in response to extreme events and conduct emergency response activities. Extreme events include those with geological sources (such as earthquakes and landslides), from hydro-meteorological sources (such as hurricanes and floods), or those of man-made origin, either accidental (such as truck crashes) or malicious (such as terrorist attacks).
