The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is offering this cooperative agreement to an Affiliated Partner within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. This grant is specifically for conducting research aimed at diversifying the communication strategies for the critical HayWired earthquake scenario. The HayWired scenario, meticulously developed by the USGS, anticipates the extensive impacts of a hypothetical, yet scientifically plausible, magnitude-7.0 earthquake on California’s Hayward Fault. Located along the San Francisco Bay, this fault is among the most active and dangerous in the U.S., running through a densely urbanized and interconnected region. The purpose of this funding is to enhance public engagement and understanding of seismic risks by developing more varied and effective ways to disseminate the scenario’s vital information.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in diversifying the communication of the HayWired scenario. The HayWired earthquake scenario, led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), anticipates the impacts of a hypothetical, highly detailed and scientifically plausible magnitude-7.0 earthquake on the Hayward Fault and its aftershocks. The fault is located along the east side of California’s San Francisco Bay and is among the most active and dangerous in the United States, because it runs through a densely urbanized and interconnected region. |
