Japan has it. Mexico has it. But don’t expect to see it in California for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a big project,” says Jennifer Strauss. She and her coleagues at UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"http://seismo.berkeley.edu/\">seismology lab \u003c/a>working with several universities, and state and federal agencies on \u003ca href=\"http://www.shakealert.org/\">ShakeAlert\u003c/a>, the prototype system for California’s first statewide warning system for earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the goal of the ShakeAlert project for all of us involved,” says Strauss. “We want it to be just a thing that everybody has in their daily life as part of preparedness and safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two years after state lawmakers passed a law authorizing the project, we are far from that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obstacle 1: Getting the Word Out\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The technology is getting here,” she says, “but it’s figuring out how to move beyond the academic exercise of, ‘Is this scientifically possible?’ and moving into the realm of, how do you get an alert to people?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s proving to be the bigger challenge. The “Amber alert” model, where it instantly goes to everybody’s cell phone turns out to be more of a technical challenge with earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A nearer-term goal is getting an operational version into hospitals and businesses where even a few seconds notice could save lives, not to mention millions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obstacle 2: Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building out the system is estimated to cost at least $80 million. That seems like a trivial sum given that a magnitude-6 quake in Napa caused five times that in damage. But Senator Alex Padilla’s bill from 2013 didn’t provide any government funding. Some federal assistance has trickled in, and state officials are looking for private partners to help fund the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, ShakeAlert remains in its beta phase, being tested by selected institutions. A program installed on personal computers includes a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO3qeqAvLcA\">visual and audio alert\u003c/a> (“Earthquake! Earthquake!”), announces how intense the shaking is likely to be, and provides a countdown in seconds. When the earth moved in the Napa Valley, testers in Berkeley got about ten seconds of warning before the first rumbles arrived.

She and her coleagues at UC Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"http://seismo.berkeley.edu/\">seismology lab \u003c/a>working with several universities, and state and federal agencies on \u003ca href=\"http://www.shakealert.org/\">ShakeAlert\u003c/a>, the prototype system for California’s first statewide warning system for earthquakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s the goal of the ShakeAlert project for all of us involved,” says Strauss. “We want it to be just a thing that everybody has in their daily life as part of preparedness and safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two years after state lawmakers passed a law authorizing the project, we are far from that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obstacle 1: Getting the Word Out\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The technology is getting here,” she says, “but it’s figuring out how to move beyond the academic exercise of, ‘Is this scientifically possible?’ and moving into the realm of, how do you get an alert to people?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s proving to be the bigger challenge.

Some federal assistance has trickled in, and state officials are looking for private partners to help fund the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, ShakeAlert remains in its beta phase, being tested by selected institutions.

Oskin says, “Early on scientists don’t know where to find the surface rupture, so citizen-scientists can contribute a lot to figuring out what happened. As far as I’m concerned, broadcasting information via social media (Twitter) is perfect for sharing information about surface rupture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists themselves were well served after the Napa quake by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiaeqclearinghouse.org/\">California Earthquake Clearinghouse\u003c/a>, a temporary field center where all sorts of responders could coordinate and share information. So if you give a scientist a tip to something interesting, they will know where to pass it on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most promising advance in this field is that scientists can stitch sets of photos—even your phone-cam shots—into three-dimensional models. This technique is called “structure from motion,” or SfM. Tim Dawson of the California Geological Survey, who coordinated the state’s data collection campaign after the Napa quake, says of SfM that “if people were more aware of it, it would be useful for quick data collection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169555X12004217\">SfM was introduced to Earth scientists just a few years ago\u003c/a>.

In SfM, a computer matches small details between multiple images and uses them as a framework to assemble the data into a 3D model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make a set of photos for SfM, walk around the feature and take at least a dozen shots. Ensure lots of overlap, be sure to add a scale object, and don’t change the zoom or the camera orientation. The geolocation and EXIF data that most smartphones and cameras attach to photos is very helpful for scientific purposes. Oskin says that his students are refining the technique: “One of our goals is in fact to make this accessible for the public.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone with the presence of mind to look around in the wake of a major quake can contribute to earthquake science.
