The mission of LAXNORTHEAST is to support communications for hospitals and the Medical Alert Center (MAC) during disasters.
Earthquakes are a major hazard in LA County and other parts of California. Any earthquake with magnitude 6 or above is an automatic activation for LAXNORTHEAST with nets being established on LAX103 and/or LAX501.
We therefore pay particular attention to earthquakes. Smaller magnitude earthquakes are a chance to practice sending DYFI reports to USGS and to the local coordinator at Winlink tactical address EARTHQUAKE.
During ShakeOut we also hold exercises that practice our procedures.
We recommend operators check their own entries for accuracy about an hour after submitting their DYFIm report.
Latency of about an hour exists. The data needs to be received and processed.
