CISN Goals

The CISN has the following goals:

Operate a reliable and robust statewide system to record earthquake ground motions over the relevant range of frequencies and shaking levels
Distribute information about earthquakes rapidly after their occurrence for emergency response and public information
Create an easily accessible archive of California earthquake data for engineering and seismological research, including waveform data and derived products
Maintain CISN infrastructure as a reliable state-of-the-art data collection, processing, and information distribution system
Apply the latest research and technology to develop new algorithms for analyzing earthquake data andextracting more detailed information for new user products
Maximize the use and benefit of real-time seismic information and other rapidly evolving tools and technologies through technology transfer to the user community
