we had just had briefings as we came out of the field today, we being myself and janice hernandez from the california geological survey. with support from the california highway patrol, we were able to do reconnaissance from surface rupture. when an earthquake happens, our network picks that up, and of course we automatically locate and get that information out to everybody immediately. we also then follow that up and in larger earthquakes like the 6.4 and now the 7.1, we lock for fault surface ruptured. this is how we confirm which fault the quake occurred on. so we ll see a pattern of aftershocks and have a hunch which fault that s on, but until we get eyes on it, that s when we confirm. so today we were out by air and also on the ground, looking for surface fault rupture on a previously mapped fault. we did find fault surface
and janice hernandez. and the california highway patrol you are able to do that. sensor networks picks up and we automatically locate and get that information to anybody. and the 7.1, look for fault surface rupture. this is how we confirm which fault the earthquake occurred on. a pattern of aftershocks until we get that, that is when we confirm it. we were out by air and on the ground looking for surface fault rupture on previously mapped false.
