  1. Bringing EEW to the West Coast Jennifer Strauss

  2. Direct Users Partner Networks RT data Alert Streams Sensors Processing Value-added & Redistribution Services Public Alert Systems (e.g., IPAWS) Core SystemPartners

  3. ShakeAlert Joint Committee on Communication, Education & Outreach (JC-CEO) • Joint CEO Committee (CA, WA, OR, BC) • Coordinate Beta, Pilot, and CEO implementation • Social science R&D • Developing alert content • Messages (text, voice) • Sounds, signals, lights • Pre-event education and training • Integrate with other earthquake-related CEO programs.

  4. ShakeAlert Roll-out Plan Steps • Pilots - selected fault tolerant use • Automated actions - wider industrial use, transportation • Limited people alerts -groups who can be trained • Expanded people alerts in public venues (no advance training) • Geographically limited public alerts (where network is dense) • Full public alerts via all available pathways

  5. General User Needs Fast reliable alerts Guidance Alerts, funding, roadmap Sense of Community Specific User Needs Magnitude, MMI, Maps Depends on audience and alert distribution method Application specific General alerts may need less info than SCADA systems Best Practices from other groups

  6. Messaging Part of emergency toolkit System will not be perfect Missed and false alerts Estimations will not be perfect M pretty good, MMI will be off Not everything will benefit from EEW Some of your ideas won’t work Regulatory issues, cost Lifelines coordination Code switching EM, scientists, public Needs, wants, goals There is no ‘one’ answer

  8. Collaboration

  9. What’s Been Done in CA • 1980-2010: Research • State Legislation: • Cal OES lead (SB 135) • Governance (SB 438) • Benefits Study completed • Business Plan • Startup Investment • FY 16-17: $10m • FY 18-19: $15m • FY 19-20: $16m (TBD)

  10. Wireless Emergency Alert Test • Date: March 27, 2019 • Location: Downtown Oakland • Objectives: • In partnership with USGS, test the network end to end, from the seismic laboratory to individual cellular phone handsets. • Measure the latency between test alert and receipt via survey designed in partnership by Cal OES and USGS
