Community Event Response Coordination

---

UNAVCO helps coordinate community field activities, hardware, and data requests following an earthquake or other notable event (see our Event Response Policy).

Our online discussion forum provides community communication and coordination in response to these events. Please use our forum instead of e-mail, so that we can keep communications centralized. If you do not see an Event Response listed here and would like to see initiate a formal response, email event_responseunavco.org. A formal UNAVCO response for an event includes having UNAVCO equipment at the ready, gathering high-rate data sets, a discussion forum, and a highlight page showing community effort.

To request UNAVCO support, please see Support Request Form.
