  1. Identifying Existing Infrastructure and Needs in… Mexico, Caribbean and Central America

  2. Existing and Proposed Broad Band Stations of the National Seismological Service San Pedro Mártir Casas Grandes Hermosillo Parral Mulegé Linares Guanajajuato Aguacatlán Maruata Tuxtla Gtz. Tapachula Pijijiápan

  3. Proposed Expansion of the Mexican Seismic Network and GPS Array

  4. STS-2 and FBA Equipo sellado Real Time Satellite Commnications

  5. Example of Instrumentation Modems for satellite comm Lightning Arrestor Quanterra digitizer and storage UPS for communications Regulator. UPS for seismic equipment

  6. Puerto Rico Seismic NetworkDept. of Geology, Univ. of Puerto Rico

  7. Products issued by the PRSN for Felt Earthquakes

  8. Broad Band Seismic Network in Nicaragua

  9. Location of Broad Band Seismic Stations in Venezuela

  10. Stations Monitored by the Puerto Rico Seismic Network as part of the Caribbean Tsunami Warning System Conributing Networks U. Colima, Mexico RS El Salvador INETER, Nicaragua OVSICORI, Costa Rica Baru Network, Panama Montserrat Volcano Observatory Martinique Volcano Observatory KNMI, Dutch Antilles Curazao Met Office, Bolivar Project Puerto Rico Seismic Network Seismological Institute, DR USGS Caribbean Seismic Network ANSS-USGS GSN

  11. Near Future RT seismic stations for the CTWS There will still be gaps in RT seismic coverage from Cuba (communications), Colombia (no available stations), Haiti (PRSN working with the OAS for 1 or 2 stations), Venezuela (MOU required) and UNAM, Mexico (limited contact/participation in CTWS).

  12. Seismic and Tsunami Data FlowCooperation Programs of the PRSN

  13. PRSN/FEMA and NOAA TsunamiReady Tide Gauges RSPR NOAA

  14. Positive Development of Seismic Instrumentation in the Caribbean and Middle America Drastic improvement in the number of broad-band instruments in the region 2. Densification of instrumentation in several countries (most notably Nicaragua) Use of real-time communications for most of the seismic stations Development of Caribbean Tsunami Warning effort as a regional endeavour

  15. Still to do … Seismic networks concentrated on epicentral locations and magnitude estimations in their own regions No formal mechanism for the exchange of data. (CTWC is an important initiative) Little interest for scientific collaboration with neighboring operators/scientists Many networks focused only on locations. Need to develop other products for societal benefit

  16. Need for capacity building to benefit from the data and develop The products for societal benefits Densification of geophysicists!
