Today, a M7.0 earthquake struck approximately 50 miles off the shore of Northern #California, just over a month after a M6.1 earthquake off the coast of Oregon. These events highlight the importance of leveraging multiple data sources to enhance earthquake response and risk management. Regional data, such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Shakemap, is critical for understanding shaking intensities across the area, and Safehub’s building-specific damage information provides insights for individual buildings and portfolios. Together, these data sources serve complementary roles in supporting #emergencyresponse and #riskmanagement efforts. Preparedness requires both a wide lens and a detailed view. At Safehub, we’re proud to provide the actionable insights that help our clients navigate seismic risks with confidence. Several of our clients had numerous buildings in Northern California and received building-specific damage data in near real-time, receiving text and email alerts and utilizing the Safehub dashboard. A typical screenshot of the dashboard is attached showing USGS intensity contours in combination with Safehub building-specific damage estimates in green, indicating little to no damage. #EarthquakePreparedness #Resilience #Earthquake #California #DataDrivenInsights #USGS #Shakemap
