USGS Earthquake Hazards Program » protoPAGER |
 | | PAGER will distribute alarms via pager, mobile phone, and e-mail that will include a concise estimate of impact: red for severe, yellow for moderate, and green for little or no impact. |
 | | PAGER uses these earthquake solutions to calculate estimates of ground shaking using the methodology and software developed for ShakeMap. |
 | | Finally, PAGER generates an impact statement by considering the fragility of the exposed population and infrastructure, potential for earthquake induced landslides, and, if available, damage reports from previous nearby historic earthquakes for comparison purposes and damage projection. |
