SoCal Earthquake Dashboard

DYFI Reports to LAXNORTHEAST

Radio operators can send "Did you feel it?" reports to the United States Geological Survey using Winlink. 

Common practice in SoCal is to also send a courtesy copy (Cc:) to the local coordinator. 

For LAXNORTHEAST we encourage you to send Cc: LAXNORTHEAST;SHAKEOUT. That allows for mapping local reports for local use, as shown in the dashboard below.

Note: dashboards are updated for up to 24 hours following a seismic event in SoCal. This is done on a best effort basis, as other emergency related tasks may take priority.

LAXNORTHEAST in Earthquake Country

The mission of LAXNORTHEAST is to support communications for hospitals and the Medical Alert Center (MAC) during disasters.

Earthquakes are a major hazard in LA County and other parts of California.  Any earthquake with magnitude 6 or above is an automatic activation for LAXNORTHEAST with nets being established on LAX103 and/or LAX501.

PRACTICE

We therefore pay particular attention to earthquakes. Smaller magnitude earthquakes are a chance to practice sending DYFI reports to USGS and to the local coordinator at Winlink tactical address LAXNORTHEAST. 

  During ShakeOut we also hold exercises that practice our procedures.

EventID for Earthquakes in SoCal is highlighted  in Orange.  Earthquakes in SoCal with Magnitude 6 or greater are highlighted in Red.  LAXNORTHEAST activates automatically  for SoCal earthquakes with Magnitude 6 or greater. Proceed to LAX103 (alternate LAX501) and establish a net or join the net in progress.  

 For this spreadsheet SoCal is defined as being located between Latitude 33° and 36° North and between Longitude -115° and -122° West . 

The "Raw" tab shows public data provided by USGS. The "For DYFI" tab is a calculated sheet that rearranges the data in line with USGS "Did You Feel It Reports?". It also localizes the USGS UTC time to local Los Angeles time.

Please allow 5 to 15 minutes for the various data streams to refresh.
