  1. CISN Outreach: Transferring Real-Time Information Products to Users A Report to the CISN Steering and Advisory Committees Jim Goltz Earthquake and Tsunami Program Manager Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Caltech, September 27, 2007

  2. CISN Outreach Working Group • Susan Garcia, USGS Menlo Park • Peggy Hellweg, UC Berkeley Seismo Lab, Co-Chair • Jim Goltz, CA Office of Emergency Services, Co-Chair • Hamid Haddadi, CA Geological Survey • Nick Scheckel, Caltech Seismo Lab • Tony Shakal, CA Geological Survey • Erik Pounders, USGS Pasadena • Margaret Vinci, Caltech Office of Earthquake Programs • Loren Turner, Caltrans (Advisory Committee Liaison)

  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. Changes at OES • As of January 2007, OES Earthquake and Tsunami Program became a statewide program in the Response and Recovery Division • Consists of a manager and two professional staff • CISN remains a central component of the program • Will seek to assure ongoing funding for CISN • Will seek increased funding through legislation, bonds or other available means

  6. 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

  7. Current and Planned Outreach Activities CISN Display

  8. Introduced as Version 1.0 in January 2005, the CISN Display is: • 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, tsunami warnings, situation reports and other information in one application • Introduced Version 1.4 on August 17, 2007

  9. Recent Upgrades V1.3 & 1.4 • Day/Night layer • Kiosk Mode • Minor “de-bugging” • Tsunami Information Bulletins • Improved Map layers • Addressed firewall issues

  10. Reports of Events Worldwide

  11. Focus on a Region

  12. Link to Basic Event Information

  13. Link to ShakeMap

  14. Receive Tsunami Information Bulletins

  15. A Look at CISN Display UsersBy Primary Classification • Utility & Lifeline Operators 62/13.9% • Emergency Management 221/49.6 • News Media 24/5.4 • Scientists/Network Operators 78/17.5 • Other 61/13.7 • TOTAL 446/100

  16. CISN Display: 2007 Activities • Continued dissemination of CISN Display Via: • Workshops and one-on-one demonstrations • CSTI lectures in popular earthquake course • Distribution of ShakeMap & CISN brochure • Exhibitions at conferences and public events • CISN Display prominently featured in tsunami workshops and exercises • Caltech Earthquake Affiliates meetings and demos

  17. Current and Planned Outreach Activities ShakeMap/HAZUS

  18. 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

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

  20. ShakeMap for Small Event, Near Chatsworth, 8-9-07, M4.6

  21. 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

  22. Advantages in Using ShakeMap/Loss Estimation • Scenario portrays accurate magnitude and ground motion parameters • Map is closely coordinated with loss estimation methodology • Makes sense to use same technologies for exercise as for actual event • Technologies will be better integrated with procedures and protocols

  23. ShakeMap/HAZUS Scenarios 2007 • County of Los Angeles • County of Orange • Los Angeles County Hospital District • City of Anaheim • City of Azusa • City of Claremont • City of Monrovia

  24. Scenario for City of Azusa • Wanted scenario for large magnitude event • Exercise in November 2007 to examine response readiness • Impacts on population • Probable damage and $ losses • Casualty estimates • Impact on critical facilities • Decided to use M7.1 on Puente Hills fault

  25. ShakeMap for Scenario Earthquake

  26. Loss Estimation Outputs • Shaking intensity • Casualties (Deaths and Injuries) • Displaced households • Number of persons requiring shelter • Building damage/losses • Lifeline damage/losses • Debris generated

  27. Summary of HAZUS Estimated Losses for the Region • Total $ Losses (B) $79 • Displaced 123,846* • Need Shelter 106,650** • Deaths 5,760 • Injuries 89,824 • Debris Generated (mt) 52m • Bldg Dam (Res) 104,321 • Bldg Dam (Com) 12,192 * Households ** Individuals

  28. Summary of HAZUS Estimated Losses to the City of Azusa (pop. 42,000) • Total $ Losses (m) 243.5 • Total Displaced 180* • Need Shelter 51** • Deaths 7 • Injuries 139 • Building Damage (Res) 259 • Building Damage (Com) 33 * Households ** Individuals

  29. Regional Shaking Intensities

  30. Intensities in Azusa

  31. Regional Casualties, 2:00 PM

  32. Casualties in Azusa

  33. Displaced Households

  34. Displaced Households in Azusa

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

  36. Hazard Awareness “Web Portal”

  37. Hazard Mitigation Awareness Map

  38. 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 (Need more direct route to CISN Display registration) • 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

  39. Homepage of CISN.org

  40. Special Event Page

  41. “MyCISN”

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

  43. Rapidly Available Strong Motion Information • CGS administers CSMIP with over 1000 stations, 700 ground response, 180 in buildings, 25 dams and 70 bridges • Online access to 22 station geotechnical array • Real-Time telemetry for strong motion instruments is a recent development and ongoing • Essential for a robust ShakeMap • Near real-time information from instrumented buildings basis for rapid damage assessment • CGS has developed a building motion animation/visualization soon to be available • Engineering community can learn much about damage from strong motion data (e.g. improve building codes, earthquake resistant design)

  44. CSMIP Seminars

  45. Internet Quick Reports

  46. National Center for Engineering Strong Motion data

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

  48. Materials • Developed and distributed brochure for CISN at workshops, lectures, conferences and expos • CGS has completed a new brochure on use of information from CSMIP • Still debating how best to promote use of ShakeMap for news reporting of EQ’s • ATC 54 Guidelines are now available • CISN has been the subject of many posters displayed at professional meetings/conferences

  49. Presentations • OES lectures at CSTI in the Earthquake Course • Tsunami Planning Workshops have provided opportunity to promote use of CISN Display • 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

  50. Electronic Media • Paged earthquake information from CISN • ShakeMap shapefiles for GIS applications • ShakeCast translation of ground motion to damage estimates • Linkage of real-time earthquake information and HAZUS loss estimation • Web-based and web-enabled data through CISN Display and websites
