Why “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” when you get a #ShakeAlert-powered alert📱? How do we know this is the best action to take? Check out this social science research! library.seg.org/doi/10.1190/ge…. Let’s dive in 🧵. @Cal_OES @ShakeOut @waEMD @OregonOEM @CAGeoSurvey @RocketRules1 @ECA
For a successful #EEW system to reduce injuries, 3 things should be considered: 1) the people who are alerted and the building types they occupy, 2) demographic variables such as gender, age, as well as quake experience & 3) types of quakes and performance of the EEW system. Image
The #ShakeAlert team analyzed earthquake injuries and deaths, focusing on quakes from the 1970s to now. Several studies from CA (Loma Prieta & Northridge) and WA (Nisqually) showed that people who move during shaking are twice as likely to be injured than those who don’t. @fema Image

Did you know that it is National Postdoc Appreciation Week #NPAW? For #ResearchFriday, we are focusing on the great work of our early career researchers! Currently we have four @USGS postdocs working to improve the #ShakeAlert system. Let the shout-outs begin! @USGS_Quakes Image
Dr. Noha Farghal has a Ph.D. in geophysics from @Stanford. Noha is working on incorporating fiber-optic sensors into the #ShakeAlert system. Check out her recent paper: The Potential of Using Dynamic Strains in Earthquake Early Warning Applications pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/articl… Image
.@UCLA Bruin Dr. Grace Parker studies ground shaking and works on models to better estimate ground motion in SoCal for #ShakeAlert & best practices for using @PEER_Center NGA-Subduction ground motion models for Cascadia in EEW algorithms.@UCLACivil @Garrickinstitut #PDAW2020 Image
