S17 Transport = 0, Health equipment = 0, Hospital beds = 0, Organization = 2, Total = 4. Total = 57; Average = 13. Conclusions: A standardized scoring system must be available for evaluative research. This trial revealed following problems. 1) the scoring depends on the view of the referee; 2) the referee must be trained to use the scoring system; and 3) more trials will validate the confidence in the use of the scales for the severity of disasters. Introduction:The magnitude of the Geiyo earthquake was 6.7 on the Richter scale, and the maximum amplitude of the earthquake was 6 degrees. Objectives: To evaluate the Geiyo earthquake, Methods: The disaster evaluation-research template was applied. Results:One-hundred ninety-five persons were injured including one death, and 352,292 houses were damaged. The roads were blocked at 704 points, and 49 routes were closed. Just after the earthquake, many components of the public transportation system such as the railways and omnibus, stopped temporarily, but they were returned into service several hours later. Lifelines also were blocked temporarily. At the one time, the water supply was blocked in 47,767 houses, the leakage of fuel from gas line was identified at 449 points, and the supply of electricity was interrupted in 35,108 houses. Sixty-one hospitals were stricken, but any decrease in the clinical activities was not apparent. Conclusion: The evaluation for Geiyo earthquake using the disaster evaluation-research template, indicated that the Geiyo earthquake did not produce much damage. The training for the management of the disaster was useful.Objective: The Chi-Chi earthquake on 21 September 1999 was the most serious disaster in the last century of Taiwan. The purpose of this study was to analyze the pattern and risk factors for mortality. Methods: It was retrospective designed. Records collected from the D O H were reviewed. Most of the victims
