Real Time Tools for Emergency Response and
Recovery

• Richard Eisner, FAIA
• Governors 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 Its 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 -- Its Not the Magnitude, Its the
  Ground Motions!
• What Is Happening in the Background.?

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

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)

Why CISN?

• Four Networks Produced Different Solutions
• Magnitude and Location by Pagers.
• Magnitude and Location are Not Enough
• Its 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

Smart Response Requires

• Ground Motions
• Building Inventories
• Fragilities of Buildings
• Damage Distribution
• Resource Demand
• Shelter Demand
• Demographics of Victims

13
Solution

• CISN Network

  Managers
• Maintain Dense Southern California Network
• Expand Dense Northern California/Bay Region
  Network
• Provide Redundant Processing and Communication
• Build and Operate a Delivery System

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

24
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?
