Room: Tikahtnu Ballroom C

Date: 5/1/2024

Session Time: 8:00 AM to 9:15 AM (local time)

The earthquake science and engineering community can provide leading-edge earthquake impact information to improve mitigation, response and recovery through accessible and actionable communication of earthquake hazard, loss and risk. This session explores and encourages contributions concerning earthquake information tools and their development cycle: science, system and product objectives and design; iterating through end-user engagement and product redesign; and public and professional user information campaigns necessary for their rollout. 
 
We invite presentations highlighting research and applications of earthquake information, particularly those that consider and engage with users to improve earthquake information tools. Example topics include but are not limited to: presenting near-real-time shaking and impact estimates; alerting and follow-up EEW-related information related to earthquake early warnings; tools for communicating hazards and risk, engineering design and mitigation tools; earthquake information apps; and product evaluation and user engagement efforts.
