  1. CISN Outreach: Transferring Real-Time Information Products to Users A Report to the CISN Steering and Advisory Committees Sacramento, October 19, 2004 Jim Goltz Earthquake Program Governor’s Office of Emergency Services

  2. CISN Outreach Working Group • Rich Eisner, CA Office of Emergency Services • Susan Garcia, USGS Menlo Park • Lind Gee, UC Berkeley Seismo Lab, Co-Chair • Jim Goltz, CA Office of Emergency Services, Co-Chair • Vladimir Graizer, CA Geological Survey • Hugo Rico, Caltech Seismo Lab • Tony Shakal, CA Geological Survey • Wendy Shindle, USGS Pasadena • Margaret Vinci, Caltech Office of Earthquake Programs

  3. Outreach Mission To identify, develop, promote and disseminate information about earthquake products and new technologies produced by the California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN)

  4. Outreach 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

  5. CISN Products • CISN Display • ShakeMap • ShakeMap/HAZUS Interface • Earthquake Notification • Special Reports on Significant Earthquakes • Strong Motion Data and Quick Reports • Websites: www.cisn.org and eoc.cisn.org

  6. Current and Planned Outreach Activities CISN Display

  7. 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?

  8. 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, HAZUS loss estimates, situation reports and other information in one application

  9. CISN Display Version .903Beta

  10. Upon Occurrence of an Event

  11. Product Links

  12. Link to ShakeMap

  13. Overlay a ShakeMap

  14. Track Aftershock Activity

  15. Outreach 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

  16. CISN Display Dissemination Strategy • 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.

  17. Priority 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

  18. Priority 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

  19. Priority 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

  20. Methods 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

  21. Current and Planned Outreach Activities ShakeMap/HAZUS

  22. ShakeMap • One of TriNet’s first products • First map produced 3-17-97 • Displays the distribution of ground shaking • Shows intensity, velocity, acceleration • Maps available on the Internet • Very rapid availability, within 5 minutes • Maps generated for events  M3.5 • Can be used to generate scenarios

  23. ShakeMap for Large Event: Hector Mine Earthquake of 10-16-99, M7.1

  24. ShakeMap for Small Event, Near Gilroy5-13-02, M4.9

  25. TriNet ShakeMap for TV • Currently Available • Very Simple Format • TV News Gave Input • Move Beyond Epicenter • Avoid Confusion Between Magnitude and Intensity

  26. Introduces ShakeMap to responders Provides accurate and realistic scenario Can be coupled with HAZUS loss estimates Available for exercises It’s a free service of CISN Outreach ShakeMap-Based Earthquake Exercise Scenarios

  27. Scenario Earthquake • Magnitude 6.6 • San Joaquin Hills Fault • Time of Occurrence 6:00 am April 28, 2004 • Maximum Intensity MMI VIII • Areas Affected: Coastal Orange County

  28. San Joaquin Hills, M6.6 Scenario

  29. Summary of HAZUS Estimated Losses to Orange County • Total $ Losses (b$) 14.6 • Total Displaced (t) 22,404 * • Deaths 224 • Injuries 6293 • Debris Generated (mt) 10.4 • Building Damage (Res) 33,028 • Building Damage (Com) 2,712

  30. Summary of HAZUS Estimated Losses to the City of Anaheim • Total $ Losses (m) $989 • Total Displaced 656* • Need Shelter 500** • Deaths 3 • Injuries 224 • Debris Generated (mt) .51 • Building Damage (Res) 822 • Building Damage (Com) 12 * Households ** Individuals

  31. Shaking Intensities (MMI)

  32. Shaking Intensities-Anaheim

  33. Casualties

  34. Displaced Households

  35. Current and Planned Outreach Activities Website: www.cisn.org

  36. CISN.org as an Outreach Tool The website is our public face and a basic tool for outreach. It: • Highlights our multi-organizational cooperation • Is a gateway to EQ info from many sources • It places California in the context of ANSS • Provides an avenue for raising awareness of new real-time products • Is a vehicle for product and outreach performance evaluation • Features “My CISN” giving users the opportunity to customize the website to maximize it’s utility

  37. Homepage of CISN.org

  38. Special Event Page: Parkfield

  40. “MyCISN Offers Choices

  41. Current and Planned Outreach Activities Real-Time Strong Motion Information

  42. Real-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)

  43. CSMIP Seminars

  44. Internet Quick Reports

  45. Quick Report Output

  46. ATC-54 Guidelines

  47. Current and Planned Outreach Activities Presentations, Materials, Electronic Media and Expos

  48. Materials • Have developed or are currently working on brochures for CISN, CISN Display, ShakeMap and other products • Finalizing video promoting use of ShakeMap for news reporting of EQ’s • ATC 54 Guidelines are being finalized • Posters have been displayed at many conferences and meetings

  49. Presentations • OES lectures at CSTI, presentations at DRC • USGS public lecture series, news interviews, many other forums • CGS Strong Motion Utilization Seminars • Caltech Earthquake Research Affiliates, info on southern CA EQ’s • UC Berkeley participation in many conferences, info on northern CA EQ’s
