She and her family did not suffer much if any damage and are
currently experiencing problems with power. She was able to get on her computer and
through ICQ get a hold of us and let us know she is fine.

Our prayers continue for all the people In Taiwan, and for all the incredible people of the
rescue teams that have rushed to help. Our prayers also continue for news that all the
loved ones posted here are found, safe and sound and returned to their families.

It does appear that Hsien is okay, being far enough away from the epia center...if that
helps anyone with loved ones there.

Thanks and prayers,

Tentatively, our team of engineers from San Francisco, California is scheduled to depart on Wednesday, Sept. 29 and arrive in Taipei on Thursday, Sept. 30 for a two week stay.

We will be working for the U.S. State Department evaluating structures at the American Institute of Taiwan, which we believe are located in the Taipei area. Seperate from this work we will be collecting valuable, perishible data on earthquake damage, which will be used to improve design and construction methods and emergency response capabilities in future earthquakes.

Our preference for an interpreter/driver would be a local structural engineer or university student studying structural engineering. However, if we can't find someone like that, anyone with good knowledge of the Taipei area and the epicentral region near Taichung would be helpful.

Our team is affiliated with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, Oakland, CA and the Pacific Engineering Research Center of the University of California, Berkeley.

Any assistance in helping us would be greatly appreciated.
