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
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

6
Current and Planned Outreach Activities

Wouldnt It Be Great If

• Critical real-time information was available in
  one convenient web-based package?
• This package was specifically designed for
  emergency responders?
• It was free of charge and continuously maintained
  and upgraded?
• You didnt have to wait 10 years to get it?

8

• What is it?
• 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, HAZUS
• loss estimates, situation reports and other
  information in one application

Outreach Objective CISN Display

• Develop a strategy and timetable for the
  dissemination of this product to targeted users
• Pre-Dissemination Activities
• Monitor development and beta testing of the CISN
  Display
• Obtain both informal and formal feedback from
  beta test users
• Expand Help-Desk capability in anticipation of
  transfer
• Prepare, review and critique documentation for
  download and operation

16
CISN Display Dissemination Strategy

• Assumptions
• Dissemination will be phased, targeting groups
  according to priorities established by the OWG
• Target audiences will require tailored strategies
  based on function, technical sophistication, etc
• Use a no target group left behind approach
  (will make every attempt to saturate target
  before moving on)
• Make sure progress of transfer does not exceed
  capabilities of system.

17
Priority Target Groups CISN Display

• Stage I (Year 1)
• OES and FEMA, Headquarters and Regions

20
Methods of Dissemination

• Workshops with a hands-on orientation for
  specific target groups

  letters to organizational directors
• Focused communication via e-mail, special
  web-pages and presentations to meetings/conference
  s
• As feasible, one-on-one orientation of specific
  target organizations
