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.
