1. A “Next-Generation” Seismic Hazards Alert/Analysis Tool for the Modern EOC Disaster Resistant California 2004 Hugo Rico Jr.Margaret Vinci Project CoordinatorMgr. Earthquake Programs hugo@gps.caltech.edumvinci@gps.caltech.edu hugo@gps.caltech.edumvinci@gps.caltech.edu

2. 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 of Nationwide Initiative http://www.cisn.org

3. Motivation of a better tool? Replace Aging CUBE/REDI system –Low throughput –No Internet connectivity –DOS only –Aging hardware –Not scaleable Develop better tools for Emergency Managers

4. The CISN Display – Its Benefits Seismic hazards alert tool for the modern EOC –Scaleable –Redundant –Persistent –Highly configurable –Automated –Platform Independent –Integrated

5. The CISN Display – How does it work? Client requests a connection – Port 443 Client redirected to an ‘Event Channel’ - Port 443 Subscribes to ‘Event Channel’ - Port 80 Internet CISN Display Client QuakeWatch Server

6. The CISN Display – How does it work? Subscribes to ‘Event Channel’ - Port 80 Earthquake/Product Message! Client may go out-of-band and retrieve information Internet Product Generators Firewall

7. The CISN Display – What it delivers Products it will provide –Focal Mechanisms/ Moment Tensors –Waveform Traces –CIIM pages (Felt Reports) –ShakeMap –Hazus shapefiles* –Station Lists*

8. CISN Display - Obstacles to its Release Geographically Dispersed QWServers Client to Server Login/Authentication Adequate User Documentation Compile a GIS Library Other Improvements Addressing “firewall problem” issues

9. The CISN Display - System Requirements Hardware (Minimum recommended) –CPU: PIII, 1 GHz –RAM: 384 MB or Higher System Software –Any OS w/ JAVA (JRE 1.4.X or higher) installed Network Connectivity –IP address (Registered or Private) –Access to our QuakeWatch Servers on ports 80/443 or 39 without Proxy Server Client Software –CISN Display CISN Display User –Familiarity with their resident operating system
