As part of the 2009 ShakeOut, SCEC is conducting an earthquake response exercise, which will be coordinated with the USGS table-top exercises. The SCEC Earthquake Response Content Management System (ERCMS) will be activated and tested for post-earthquake response planning and coordination. Contact us if there are issues related to the SCEC ERCMS.

At this page, you can join in SCEC earthquake response activities for the 2009 ShakeOut. Greg Beroza and some of the SCEC group leaders are coordinating the science planning and activities, and we use the SCEC ERCMS to coordinate response plans with USGS and other partners.

For general science planning and coordination, join the discussion forums.

At 12:30 pm, we will conduct a communication test. Participants can use satellite phones and other devices to dial into the permanent SCEC Earthquake Response Conference Call Line (which is available 24/7/365).

At 1:30 pm, we will join the USGS Pasadena Office in a science coordination call, during which we will discuss the coordination of post-earthquake science activities among SCEC, USGS, and other partners. This call will be held on the USGS Conference Call Line.

How to use this event page

The group leaders will initiate a science coordination thread within their discipline (e.g. seismology, geodesy, geology). To join coordination activities or to post information, simply respond to a comment thread or add a new comment. You can upload files as attachments to comments.
