Abstract :
Rapid growth computer technologies, especially the Internet provide human beings with new measures to deal with engineering and social problems which were hard to solve in traditional ways. We present a prototype of an application platform based on the Internet for civil engineering considering building an information system of risk communication and disaster mitigation for metropolises.
