Hi Sue & Elizabeth,

Paul Davis & Lingsen Meng at UCLA may be interested about participation in Eq. response as they have a small inventory of instruments.

Cheers,

Alan

We're gathering in Pasadena now!

I'm sending this post to test my ability to post from outside of Pasadena... 

 How this works. 

Thanks, Sue, for organizing.

Carol is on her way back, we'll deploy north tomorrow.

 CGS field teams have not explored north of A Street in Hayward.

 KNOWN ISSUE:The Clearinghouse is currently experiencing issues with spambots invading our http://www.californiaeqclearinghouse.org/ site.  If you have a un/pw for the site, it should still work, but if you are trying to create a new login or alter existing un/pw, you will not be able to.  Please contact Anne.Rosinski@conservation.ca.gov for assistance.

Clearinghouse SpotOnResponse Tool is now also available as a Mobile App

If you ALREADY have un/pw to log in to SpotOnResponse - you can simply download the app from Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and use your existing un/pw; it will recognize you.

If you NEED a un/pw:

Go to this website https://app.spotonresponse.com/index.php

click on “Click here to register for access”

Use the code (case sensitive): operClearHouse

A few more notes on Mobile app functions. 

 Access USGS Field Notes tool THROUGH SOR: 

Use green ”plus +” button to create a new incident OR select an incident that already exists; click on the file icon in the upper left side of window; choose Clearinghouse Field Notes

 Please note the Clearinghouse is using this exercise on May 11, 2016, to test the ability to automatically import USGS Field Notes data. During the exercise, the Clearinghouse SpotOnResponse (SOR) tool will be polling the USGS Field Notes data from the Bay Quake Alliance site approximately every 5 minutes, so you may not see your data immediately appear in SOR

Full functionality of SpotOnResponse including more robust offline use, categorization of Updates into Observations, Plans, Resources, and GIS data.

2. New SpotReports which allow you to quickly add a SpotReport, SpotWatch, SpotProblem, or SpotEmergency to SpotOnResponse and XchangeCore.  Each of these, hopefully intuitively, require a higher degree of attentiveness.  Each can have one or more photos attached which are associated with the SOR SpotReport (IOI in SOR) as an Observation Update where the photo narrative can be edited for each picture individually.  Both IOI/Incident and Photos/Observation pass through XchangeCore to AGOL or Google Earth where they can be viewed. 
3. MyIOI let’s you take any of the IOI and permanently store them and their attachments (photos, plans, etc.) on the device for offline viewing.

I have handed off to Robert Sickler so please send info to him (please cc' me). Thank you!

 CGS geologists are reporting instances of liquefaction, settlement, and lateral spreads near the Sacramento River near Old Town.  Kmzs with photos are attached.

For future, maps like this should include base map information so that field teams would know how to deploy to high probability locations and should either have internal georeferencing (GeoPDF, GeoTIFF) or include coordinate grid in the image.
