In order to meet
the objective of enhancing casualty models for post-earthquake response and
mitigation, we conducted a review of selected scientific papers written about
earthquake injuries. We are making the references accessible to the public by
putting the references in a searchable
database. Papers of interest can be found by SUBJECT, TITLE, or AUTHOR.
