OVERVIEW
RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Community Internet Intensity Maps are available online immediately after an earthquake as a tool to visualize the "human seismograph" data collected through the "Did You Feel It?" program. "Did You Feel It?" allows users to report their experience of an earthquake (location and time). The database takes advantage of high reporting and helps USGS develop a more complete description of what people experienced, the effects of an earthquake, and the extent of damage.
