Are ShakeMaps Made for International Earthquakes?
The USGS PAGER (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response) program is being developed for this purpose. PAGER is designed to help Federal and International agencies decide which earthquakes among the over 30,000 located by the National Earthquake Information Center could have substantial social impact. Visit http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter and go to PAGER to know more about PAGER.
