Real Time Tools for Emergency Response and Recovery

1. Real Time Tools for Emergency Response and Recovery Richard Eisner, FAIA Governor’s Office of Emergency Services

2. Threats to California • Wild Land and Interface Fires • Floods • Energy Shortages • WMD/T • Earthquakes “If you are ready to respond to an earthquake, you are ready for WMD/T”

3. The Most Likely Disaster in California is an Earthquake!

4. There Is No Rule That Only One Disaster Can Occur at a Time….. • CISN Display Is an Emergency Management Situation Awareness Tool • Real-Time Earthquake Origins • Real-Time Tsunami Origins • Other Stuff – National Event Display System? • Links to Other Data

5. Why It’s Important • Ten Hours to Learn about Santa Cruz in Loma Prieta (1989) earthquake • Four Hours to Learn about Santa Monica in Northridge (1994) earthquake • Nisqually -- It’s Not the Magnitude, It’s the Ground Motions! • What Is Happening in the “Background.?”

6. Northridge, California (M6.7) Nisqually, Washington (M6.8)

7. Northridge, California (M6.7) - Depth range about 3 to 11 miles - Nisqually, Washington (M6.8) - Depth range about 30 to 36 miles - 10 30 50 Depth (Miles)

8. Why CISN? • Four Networks Produced Different Solutions • Magnitude and Location by Pagers…. • Magnitude and Location are Not Enough • It’s the Ground Motions…….!!!!

9. Hypocenter is Only the Start of the Earthquake • Does Not Address Directivity • Does Not Address Geology and Soils • Does Not Address Frequency of Ground Motions • Does Not Describe Pattern of Damage

10. 1857 Fort Tejon M7.8

11. Fort Tejon1857 M7.8

12. Smart Response Requires • Ground Motions • Building Inventories • Fragilities of Buildings • Damage Distribution • Resource Demand • Shelter Demand • Demographics of Victims

13. Solution • CISN Network • CISN Display and Notification • ShakeMap and ShakeCast • Integration of ShakeMaps into HAZUS • Automation

14. The CISN – Who we are? • Founding Members • OES • USGS • CGS • UC Berkeley • Caltech • Contributing Members • Other Universities • Regional Utilities • Other Gov. Agencies • ANSS Member • CA Component Nationwide Initiative http://www.cisn.org

15. CISN Goals • Provide Real Time Information to Emergency Managers • Maintain Dense Southern California Network • Expand Dense Northern California/Bay Region Network • Provide Redundant Processing and Communication • Build and Operate a Delivery System

16. CISN is…. • Integrated Networks • CISN Display • myCISN • CISN.org/services • CISN Outreach Services

17. SoCal

18. SF BA

19. Projected Statewide Network

20. Squares are ShakeMap Quality Stations Stars Indicate Stations Feeding Data to NorCal & SoCal Data Centers

21. The Promise To Users • Magnitude and Location within 3 Minutes • ShakeMap For Urban Regions within 5 to 8 Minutes • ShakeMap for Rural Regions within 8 Minutes

22. Integration of ShakeMap into HAZUS • Automated HAZUS Loss Estimation • Push of ShakeMap to Counties (OpAreas), State and Federal Agencies, Schools, Hospitals, Fire and Law Agencies and the Media • Objectives: • All Responders Have Same Image of the Event • Everyone Knows Where, How Big and Potential Impact • “Are you at the edge of a large earthquake, or the center of a small earthquake?”

32. OES Outreach and Support to OpAreas • HAZUS Scenarios for Planning, Mitigation, Public Education and Response • Integration of GIS Risk Mapping and HAZUS • Tsunami Mapping and Mitigation Program

33. CISN is a Partnership of State and Federal Earth Science and Emergency Management Agencies, Research Universities and Public Utilities

34. Funding for CISN is Provided by The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, CGS, FEMA and the USGS
