TRANSCRIPT
Tilt/Vertical Change MapDescriptionTilt is the change of slope that can affect water distribution, drainage, and sewage services. These maps are generated from Disloc surface deformation modeling code and iteratively refined using geodetic data from GPS model solutions.
Use for decision makingWhen deformation changes the tilt of essentially flat ground or increases slopes that may be near the angle of repose, drainage or water conveyance may be affected and landslides may result. Maps can be paired with infrastructure data layers to assess where likely damage has occurred and aid with allocating resources.

Strain Magnitude MapDescriptionDeformation strain magnitude is a measure of the concentration of local relative changes in the surface shape, and so can identify locations of potential fault surface rupture as well as locations where infrastructure may be dangerously stressed by tension, compression, or shear of the surface materials. These maps are generated from Disloc surface deformation modeling code and iteratively refined using geodetic data from GPS model solutions.
Use for decision makingWhere deformation gradients are high, large motions may have occurred, disrupting infrastructure and potentially causing greater damage. Maps can be paired with infrastructure data layers to assess where likely damage has occurred and aid with allocating resources.

Aftershock ForecastsDescriptionETAS type forecast based on aftershock scaling relations intended to provide estimates of aftershock activity following a large mainshock. In our automated, web-service implementation, spatial and temporal distributions of aftershocks are determined from earthquake scaling relations and the orientation of the rupture is determined by local seismicity. This approach facilitates fast and objective computation of aftershock properties. By mitigating “expert” subjectivity, automating the effective removal of small magnitude, distant earthquakes by Omori and spatial decay functions, and by estimating each earthquake's ETAS contribution from its rupture properties, this method facilitates the use of large (5+ years)
regional catalogs. Moreover, a forecast can be run quickly, or even automatically triggered, in response to a large earthquake, and because the orientation of each earthquake is determined from local seismicity, the forecast evolves, presumably to a state of greater accuracy, as the aftershock sequence progresses.
Use for decision makingProvides forecasting method that can be calculated quickly and updated regularly during a response with minimal user input. Forecasts are generated in KMZ output that are easily interpreted (areas of higher likelihood in warmer colors, lower likelihood in cooler colors).

Infrastructure Database ServiceDescriptionLocating and identifying critical assets that may have been exposed to damage after an earthquake, such as dams, freeway bridges, schools, police and fire stations, hospitals and other high priority targets, provides essential information for decision markers for response efforts. The FEMA HAZUS-MH data inventory includes a large amount of critical infrastructure data covering every state in United States. E-DECIDER provides an OGC-compatible KML-generating service that delivers near 30 HAZUS-MH information layers within a user-specified radius from an epicenter. This database is being expanded to include HSIP Freedom data and we are exploring incorporating HSIP Gold data.
Use for decision makingInfrastructure layers may be overlaid onto other information layers to identify what structures may have been potentially exposed to damage due to an earthquake or other emergency incident. Advanced spatial query support has been added to the database service, which provides FEMA critical infrastructure information to a broader range of emergency situations. The geometry of an incident falls into three types: point (e.g earthquake), line (e.g tornado), and polygon (e.g flood, wildfire). Users can specify the search distance (buffer zone) and the types of critical assets for different incidents.
