CISN: The California Integrated Seismic Network

1
Weve come a long way since Northridge .
2
At the time of Northridge ...

• 7 separate independent monitoring networks in
  CA
• No complete picture of earthquake effects!
• Nearly all instrumentation was analog
• Limited on-scale recordings
• Primary rapid products
• location magnitude
• Software problems delayed
• notification

3
Northridge motivated TriNet

• Recognition of the value of seismic networks
• FEMA and OES leadership
• Monitoring Partnership
• Caltech, USGS, California Geological Survey
• Goal improve monitoring for
• seismology, engineering, emergency response
• Tasks
• Upgrade expand instrumentation
• Modernize software
• Develop new products (e.g. ShakeMap)

Earthquakes are a statewide problem!

ANSS Plans call for

• 3,000 strong-motion instruments to measure ground
  response,
• 3,000 instruments to measure shaking response of
  buildings and other structures,
• 1,000 broadband stations to modernize and expand
  regional and national networks.

8
Advanced National Seismic System

• Regional organization
• Initial focus on instrumentation
• Increasing focus on system

• USGS-led plan to modernize US monitoring
  infrastructure

9
California Integrated Seismic Network

• Collaboration among
• USGS Pasadena, Menlo Park, National
  Strong-Motion Program
• California Geological Survey
• Caltech
• UC Berkeley
• Governor's Office of Emergency Services
• Contributing partners CA DWR, UNR, UW, UCSD,
  UCSB, LLNL, LBL, PGE
• Mission
• To operate a reliable, modern, statewide system
  for earthquake monitoring, research, archiving,
  and distribution of information for the benefit
  of public safety, emergency response, and loss
  mitigation.

CISN Partnerships

• CISN builds on the TriNet investment
• FEMA support and OES leadership for TriNet
  -(1996-2001)
• CISN efforts represent an integration of
  resources CISN
• Partners support
• USGS, California Geological Survey, UC Berkeley,
  Caltech
• USGS ANSS (2000-present)
• State of California OES (2001-present)
• Other contributors NOAA, FEMA EMPG, Caltrans
• Federal, state and university partnership
• OES funding has provided the glue necessary to
  create an integrated system
• Not possible with previous resources

CISN

• Thank you for your time!

Software Earthquake Information Distribution

• May 2003 - ANSS Cal OES convened a panel
• July 2003 - AdHoc Panel met at Berkeley
• Sept 2003 - Panel published report
• Reviewed current systems QDDS, Quakewatch,
  ShakeCast
• Concluded that none of these systems met the
  needs for distributing all earthquake information
• Recommended new development effort
• Provided preliminary specifications
• Sept 2003 - Cal OES requests proposal from UCB
  for EIDS
• Dec 2003 - UCB is asked to submit a revised
  proposal
• May 2004 - UCB awarded funds (term. date
  9/30/2004)
• 4 months to deliver on EIDS! which was not
  enough time to hold an RFP

34
Software Earthquake Information Distribution

• Sept 23, 2004 UCB awarded a contract to ISTI
• Sept 27, 2004 UCB notified of award extension
• Jan 30, 2005 Deliverables due
• Next steps
• Testing of the ISTI deliverables
• Modification of software such as recenteqs, CISN
  Display, and ShakeCast
• Deployment
• Development of some additional features

35
Advanced National Seismic System

• Designed to integrate, modernize, standardize,
  and expand seismic networks in the United
  Statesfollowing on the TriNet experience.
• Focused on urban monitoring.
• Uses a National Steering Committee and seven
  Regional Advisory Committees to represent
  engineering, emergency response, and scientific
  interests.
