Potential Uses of Early Warning?– Human Response
• Drop, cover, and hold on • Evacuate hazardous areas• Brace for shaking
(surgeons, dentists, etc.)
– Automated Response• Slow or stop trains, traffic• Close valves, gates• Stop elevators• Open firehouse doors• Slow or stop machinery• ?

Main Components of EEW System• Dense sensors (seismic & GPS)
• Reliable field telemetry
• Fast processing to determine:
• Location, magnitude
• Fault extent & slip
• Fast mass notification
• End user interaction & education

CISN will be transformed by EEW
• More stations, upgraded stations• More robust telemetry• Tighter integration with (inclusion of) GPS• Need for more rigorous testing and
monitoring for EEW than current products• More staff at Tier 1 centers• More interaction with users• More partnerships• Funding?

Implementation Summary(with current modest funding levels)
• Upgrade network infrastructure as opportunities arise
• Continue algorithm development and implementation – Gordon & Betty Moore funding R&D– USGS EEW funding (Phase III) implementation
• Create production thread - “operationalize” current demonstration thread– Develop West Coast architecture for redundant, fail-safe
operation– Develop operational performance metrics and monitoring
• Continue user interaction, create new partnerships
• Complete implementation plan, cost benefit analysis, telemetry plan, etc.

Summary
• USGS & CISN partners are committed to building and operating EEW for highest risk areas of CA
• ShakeAlert has been sending test EEW notifications since January 2012
• Work has begun on the “production” system• Significant progress is being made in all parts of
the system despite limited resources• Partners are coordinating to build support at
federal and state levelsShakeShakeAlertAlert
