Caltrans will be launching a new initiative to identify and address issues with infrastructure throughout the state in the event of a major earthquake.
In conjunction with the United States Geological Survey, Caltrans announced its launch of ShakeCast V3, which will bolster its statewide response to an earthquake.
Because the health of bridges and other infrastructure is critical to emergency response, ShakeCast V3 will allow Caltrans to identify and address earthquake damages with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
ShakeCast V3 is an application that uses earthquake-shaking data and analyzes that data against performance characteristics for bridges and other structures. It uses a suite of powerful tools to alert first responders to the location and probable severity of impacts during a seismic event, including email alerts, an interactive website and analysis results, all of which are delivered to first responders within minutes of a seismic event.
