Utilities & Power

48-Hour Advance Notice for Utility Operations

Give grid operators, field teams, and logistics coordinators time to prepare - before a seismic event, not after.

The Operational Gap

Utility networks face post-earthquake disruption that begins in the first hour: damaged switching infrastructure, flooded water mains, uncertain field-team safety, and supply-chain bottlenecks. Current early-warning systems are measured in seconds - enough to stop a train, not to pre-position a repair crew.

What a 24–48-Hour Window Changes

  • Pre-position maintenance crews and specialist equipment near predicted epicentre zones
  • Activate mutual-aid agreements with neighbouring utilities before congestion begins
  • Communicate proactively with large industrial customers on contingency supply
  • Ensure backup generation and switching assets are tested and ready
  • Brief field supervisors on elevated-risk zones in upcoming shift schedules

Low-Risk Preparedness Actions

  • Inspect critical substations and pump stations in the predicted zone
  • Stage repair vehicles and materials at forward depots
  • Verify remote isolation capability for high-risk pipeline segments
  • Run tabletop review of post-earthquake restoration priority sequence

What Seismikon Provides

  • Configurable coverage for your service territory - not just California
  • Predictions for your minimum magnitude threshold (e.g. M3.5+, M4.0+)
  • Delivery via dashboard, email digest, API, or webhook into your SCADA or EMS
  • Defined evaluation protocol so performance is independently verifiable
  • Phased implementation: start with observation-only, then integrate into operations

Regional Customisation

Coverage is configured to your area of operations. California is the current public demonstration; any seismically active region globally is available under a commercial arrangement.

  • Define coverage polygon or radius around your sites
  • Set minimum magnitude threshold for your asset type
  • Specify depth window relevant to your infrastructure

Delivery & Integration

Predictions are delivered through the channel that fits your workflows.

  • Dashboard - web portal with prediction maps and history
  • Email digest - structured prediction summary on each run
  • REST API - JSON feed for system integration
  • Webhook - push on each new prediction batch

⚠️ Appropriate Use & Limitations

Seismikon predictions are probabilistic and not guaranteed. They should be used to inform preparedness decisions, not to trigger automatic equipment actions. Predictions complement - not replace - official emergency procedures.

Discuss Coverage for Your Service Territory

Initial conversations cover your region's seismic characteristics, prediction requirements, integration needs, and evaluation approach.
