Outreach MissionOutreach Mission

To identify, develop, promote

and disseminate information

about earthquake products and

new technologies produced by

the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN)

Outreach ObjectivesOutreach Objectives Identify CISN products that have implications for public safety or

increasing earthquake awareness and understanding

Develop mechanisms for information and technology transfer to specific target audiences

Present new real-time information and technologies in formats that can be readily assimilated by users

Target critical users for CISN products and work with them to facilitate use

Obtain feedback from targeted users regarding utilization and recommendations for improvement in CISN products

 Coordinate outreach efforts among the CISN member institutions and the Advanced National Seismic System

Wouldn’t It Be Great If:Wouldn’t It Be Great If:

Critical real-time information was available in one convenient web-based package?

This package was specifically designed for emergency responders?

It was free of charge and continuously maintained and upgraded?

You didn’t have to wait 10 years to get it?

What is it?An earthquake notification system that: Replaces CUBE and REDI displays Is a web-based application that is platform independent It is a gateway to many real-time information products Is quick, reliable, flexible and secure

Provides magnitude and location, access to ShakeMap, strong motion records, HAZUSloss estimates, situation reports and other information in one application

Outreach Objective: CISN DisplayOutreach Objective: CISN Display

Develop a strategy and timetable for the dissemination of this product to targeted users

Pre-Dissemination Activities– Monitor development and beta testing of the CISN

Display– Obtain both informal and formal feedback from beta

test users– Expand “Help-Desk” capability in anticipation of

transfer– Prepare, review and critique documentation for

download and operation

CISN Display Dissemination CISN Display Dissemination StrategyStrategy

Assumptions:– Dissemination will be phased, targeting groups

according to priorities established by the OWG– Target audiences will require tailored strategies based

on function, technical sophistication, etc– Use a “no target group left behind” approach (will

make every attempt to saturate target before moving on)

– Make sure progress of transfer does not exceed capabilities of system.

Priority Target Groups: CISN DisplayPriority Target Groups: CISN Display

Stage I (Year 1)– OES and FEMA, Headquarters and Regions– California State Agencies w/Emergency

Response and Recovery Functions– All Operational Areas in California

Priority Target Groups: CISN DisplayPriority Target Groups: CISN Display

Stage II (Year 2)– All local jurisdictions, including special districts– California utility and lifeline operators– All divisions of USGS in EQ Hazards Program– All seismic network operators in the nation– NOAA, NIST, NIBS, science oriented committees of

Congress– Earth science and engineering centers (e.g. SCEC,

PEER– NGO’s active in disaster response and recovery

Priority Target Groups: CISN DisplayPriority Target Groups: CISN Display

Stage III (Year 3)– Emergency management personnel for large

companies in California– News Organizations in California– California school districts– Hospitals in California

Stage IV (Year 4-5)– Available to all interested parties

Methods of DisseminationMethods of Dissemination

Workshops with a “hands-on” orientation for specific target groups

Detailed communication of information through letters to organizational directors

Focused communication via e-mail, special web-pages and presentations to meetings/conferences

As feasible, one-on-one orientation of specific target organizations

Real-Time Strong Motion Information

Real-Time Strong Motion InformationReal-Time Strong Motion Information CGS administers CSMIP with over 900 stations,

650 ground response, 170 in buildings, 20 dams and 60 bridges

Real-Time telemetry for strong motion instruments is a recent development

Essential for a robust ShakeMap

Near real-time information from instrumented buildings basis for rapid damage assessment

Engineering community can learn much about damage from strong motion data (e.g. improve building codes, earthquake resistant design)
