Abstract
Wenchuan earthquake, occurred on 12 May 2008, has caused a catastrophe. This paper first presents an overview of this earthquake disaster. The characteristics of earthquake ground motion records are analyzed. The geohazards, seismic damage of hydraulic engineering structures, building structures, structures for transportation, and their chain effects are summarized. Policies and actions on emergency rescue, relief, settlement, earthquake damage assessment and evaluation, the plan on retrofitting school buildings, and recovery are also introduced. The status of the reconstruction is also surveyed and presented. Finally, the suggestions pertaining to key scientific and technological issues on earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation, and the systematic recovery actions are put on record.
