CISN Display V1.0

The California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) has recently released CISN Display V1.0 as a tool for integrating earthquake information in emergency response. CISN Display is an integrated Web enabled earthquake notification system, designed for emergency management 24/7 operations centers. The application provides users with maps of real-time seismicity, and automatically provides access to Web-related earthquake products such as ShakeMaps. CISN Display also offers an open source GIS mapping tool that allows users to plot freely available layers of public highways, roads and bridges, as well as private layers of organizational-specific infrastructure and facilities information.

CISN Display is designed to provide earthquake information for emergency response. First-responders, organizations with critical lifelines and infrastructure, and emergency responders are invited to register for an account. MORE INFO

A GIS-Based Methodology for Exporting the HAZUS Earthquake Model for Global Applications

HAZUS.org has recently had a couple of inquiries about using HAZUS outside the U.S.

In April 2006 Doug Bausch presented a paper at the Seismicity and Earthquake Engineering in the Extended Mediterranean Region workshop, the 25th meeting of the RELEMR programme (Reduction of Earthquake Losses in the Extended Mediterranean Region) that outlined the process for adapting HAZUS for non-U.S. applications.
