Earthquake Information Dissemination Workshop

1. Earthquake Information Dissemination Workshop May 26, 2006 ITR – RESCUE Natural Hazards Center, U.C. Boulder

2. Goals of the RESCUE Project Transforming the ability to collect, analyze, share and disseminate information within the responding organizations and the public On-site 1st Responders Mobile Command & Control EOC Response Network

3. Key Observation Right Information to the Right Person at the Right Time can result in dramatically better response • Response • Effectiveness • lives & property saved • damage prevented • cascades avoided • Quality of • Decisions • first responders • consequence planners • public Quality & Timeliness of Information • Situational • Awareness • incidences • resources • victims • needs

9. Goals for Today’s Workshop • To update researchers and stakeholders on state of the art developments in earthquake alert and warning since the conclusion of the TriNet study (2002). • To introduce and explain the goals and plans for public information dissemination within RESCUE. • To discuss issues pertaining to public information dissemination from the fields of earthquake engineering science, social science, information technology, state and local policy-makers, emergency managers, schools/school districts, parents and community members, etc.
