Summary name="EnDivSummary">The authors explained how to determine the house-damage ratio in the disaster areas of the Yingjiang MS5.9 earthquake in 2011 and the Yingjiang MS5.8 earthquake in 2011. Comparing the earthquake damage caused by the MS5.9 earthquake with the one by the Yingjiang MS5.8 earthquake, we found the latter is more severe than the former, and then, the authors proposed the reason. On the Basis of the characteristics of the damage caused by the MS5.8 earthquake, the authors put forward the suggestions for recovery, reconstruction, planning and design for the Yingjiang disaster area, especially, the authors stressed the construction, the site selection, and the aseismic-fortification measures for buildings and structures in this area.
