Jones at USNORTHCOM

Lucy Jones, USGS Chief Scientist, Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project (MHDP), is meeting this week with the leaders of U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) in Colorado. USNORTHCOM provides “command and control of Department of Defense (DoD) homeland defense efforts and to coordinate defense support of civil authorities.” Jones will be presenting our efforts to create a realistic earthquake scenario for southern California – but will have time to meet with FEMA authorities while there to discuss our post-fire response efforts. USNORTHCOM has expressed interest in coordinating with the USGS on these multi-hazards activities.
