摘要

Hurricane Mitch struck Central America in 1998 with explosive force, resulting in thousands of deaths, tens of thousands of families left homeless or deprived of their livelihoods, and billions of dollars of property damage. In the aftermath, a number of leading consulting engineering firms got together under the auspices of the Association of Consulting Engineers of Canada (ACEC) to see what could be done to improve Canada's response in the event of similar tragedies. The idea behind this gathering was that Canadian consulting firms that are active in parts of the world where such natural disasters strike could rapidly deploy engineers and material to the disaster sites to help save lives and reduce suffering. The firms involved were not looking to benefit financially from such crises. On the contrary, they were prepared to subsidize, or even underwrite, the costs of providing staff when assistance was most needed.
