1988年6月7日,国家地震局工程力学研究所副所长谢礼立教授收到联合国秘书长佩雷斯.德奎利亚尔写来的一封信。信中说:“联合国大会已经作出决定,把从1990年开始的10个年头指定为‘国际减轻自然灾害10年’。”“为了有助我实现这一职责,我已经决定建立一个国际特设专家组,它应该由各有关学科方面的高级科学家和从事救灾减灾工作的高级政府专家组成。这项事业的成功,极大程度上取决于这个专家组成员的质量。因此如蒙您能应允参加专家组,我将不胜感谢。……我们面临的挑战,即把在科学与技术上对自然灾害成因与危害的认识转变为减轻人民生命财产损失的实际行动,是十分紧迫而又重要的。”
On June 7, 1988, Prof. Xie Li Li, deputy director of the Institute of Engineering Mechanics of the State Seismological Bureau, received a letter from the United Nations Secretary-General Perez de Cuellar. The letter said: “The United Nations General Assembly has already decided that the 10 years from 1990 should be designated as the” 10-year international mitigation for natural disasters. “” In order to help me to fulfill this responsibility, I have already decided to establish a special international ad hoc Expert group, which should consist of senior scientists in all relevant disciplines and senior government experts in disaster relief and disaster reduction. The success of this undertaking depends very much on the quality of the panelists. I will be grateful to the Group of Experts .... The challenge we face is to move science and technology into practical action to reduce the perception of the causes and harms of natural disasters to alleviating the loss of human life and property, and it is very urgent and important.
