N2 - This paper presents the conceptual design of a building black-box that is equipped with disaster-survivable protections, wireless communication capabilities and a digital building database to support the decision-making process during and after building disaster events. This black-box system aims at building an infrastructure of two-way communication between the building systems and the emergency response team on the mobile ad hoc space for collaboration (MASC) platform, providing realtime and critical information regarding building structural health, environmental conditions and personnel information. In addition, the building black-box system will also integrate with a building structural behavior analyzer that can send alert signals regarding extreme disaster events such as imminent building collapse.
