〜を受けて

接続:N+を受けて
receive influence, decide and then act
注意 / Note:Accept an event that has happened before taking action, so the first part is a WORK, not a wish: 報告・地震・事故・判決・要請. Journalism literature. Different from 〜にこたえて in that it does not imply responding to anyone's expectations.
比較 / Compare:Same article: 〜にこたえて/〜に応じた. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:名詞+を受けて、〜。The latter is the measure or decision made AFTER.
報告を受けて、会議を開いた。
After receiving the report, the meeting was opened.
地震を受けて安全基準が変わった。
After an earthquake, safety standards change.
住民からの指摘を受けて、市は調査を始めた。
