Cyberquake taking place in California - this week

Was anyone else aware of this?

On September 24, a "cyberquake" off the coast of Huntington Beach, Calif., will generate tsunamigenic forces and an oil spill that endangers fisheries, wetlands, and coastal regions in southern California and northern Baja California, Mexico. It will destroy the All American Canal. Aftershocks will displace a large number of people who will need shelter and medical care. Several major freeway interchanges will be damaged and impassable. Water, sewage, and drainage systems will be damaged. Disease will break out in the shelters. You will be able to follow it all on Twitter or on the site of Exercise 24 (X24), an international collaboration and multidisciplinary test of low-cost and public technologies for communication, logistics coordination, and response that will play out on September 24 and 25.

Sounds like a great experiment...

Good find! These types of scenarios should be run more often. Great tool for both awareness and preparedness!!

If you look at the track record, these "tests" usually turn into a real life event.

They were doing tests on 9/11.

They were doing tests for the london bombings...identical tests.

This won't be a real life event, there is no pressure detected near Wichita, Kansas at this time, so there will be no life threatening earthquake off the coast of California within the next 3-4 days.

It is always a good idea to be prepared. This event seems like it is designed to study how people respond to a disaster, as the focus seems to be on social interaction and the use of technology. It is a great idea to see how everything works together, however, I wonder if they ever consider what would happen if computers and smart phones were not working for some reason. That would also be an interesting exercise.

The use of unmanned drones is interesting, and I am sure we will be seeing much more of this kind of thing in the future.

To use smart phones and ultra-light and remotely piloted aircraft to assess damage and threats. The aircraft will be used to observe and map areas and then transmit data so that it can be pieced together to complete a bigger picture.

Cyberquake Expected in California This Week
