Engineering News-Record mentions Michel Bruneau, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, in a story with the headline “Why Politics Must Never Obscure Learning From Earthquake Disasters.”
The article says that Bruneau’s recent book, "The Blessings of Disaster," notes that Japan’s response to the Kobe, Japan, earthquake of 1995 (death toll: 6,200) shocked the nation into awareness that its advanced seismic protection measures were lacking. It provided the impetus for the government and engineering community to revise seismic design and detailing requirements and to mandate more stringent inspection rules.
