To those of us who work with MS Windows on a day to day basis, staring at the same Windows wallpaper, whether the solid blue screen or the pastoral scenes, can be anything but soothing.

| Emergency Radio Monitoring on the Web |
John R. Joyce, Ph.D.
Web Exclusive
In a previous column, we took a look at ways that you could monitor earthquake activity and factor that into your disaster recovery plan. While for some this is likely to be an eventuality that they will never have to deal with, for others it is a daily fact of life. However, an aspect of disaster recovery plans that affects everyone is information. Specifically, it is being able to learn the extent of the disaster, the availability of help and possibly the best routes for evacuation. One of the best ways to obtain that information can be from monitoring police, fire and emergency medical service radio traffic -- what we’ll refer to for now as emergency radio. How critical this monitoring is depends on the extent of the disaster. ...continue |

| Earthquake Monitoring? |
John R. Joyce, Ph.D.
Web Exclusive
Yes, I can hear the question mark in your voice. True, those who live in the Pacific Ring of Fire and other tectonicly active areas are used to preparing for and monitoring earthquakes. Those who live in less active areas, preparing and monitoring has not been quite as high a priority, to put it charitably. However, if your home or business happened to be located in central Virginia on the afternoon of August 23, 2011, when a magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck just 35 miles northwest of Richmond, Virginia, you might be tempted to reconsider. If you are inclined to write that off as a fluke, consider that the strongest earthquakes to ever hit the eastern U.S. in recorded history, estimated to have a maximum magnitude of around 7.7, occurred near New Madrid, MO. ...continue |
