Protect Water Supply Continuity Before an Earthquake Strikes
Advance predictions let water operators inspect critical mains, prepare bypass logistics, and brief response teams before demand spikes.
The Public Health Risk Window
Main breaks, treatment plant disruption, and contamination pressure differentials can render water supplies unsafe within hours of a significant earthquake. Restoration is slow - typically days, not hours - and restoration logistics worsen as road networks deteriorate simultaneously.
What a 24–48-Hour Window Changes
- Inspect and temporarily reinforce critical transmission mains in predicted zones
- Pre-fill emergency storage reservoirs and tanker fleets
- Alert health authorities and large water users to the elevated risk window
- Confirm bypass routing for treatment works in predicted impact areas
- Brief operations and maintenance teams on elevated-risk shift protocols
Low-Risk Preparedness Actions
- Walk critical above-ground infrastructure in the predicted epicentre area
- Verify valve isolation accessibility across risk zones
- Confirm emergency water supply agreements with neighbouring authorities
- Run through the post-earthquake water quality testing activation checklist
What Seismikon Provides
- Predictions specific to your service area - configurable location and magnitude threshold
- Dashboard and email delivery, or API integration with operational systems
- Transparent evaluation protocol - track record publicly available
- Pilot period available to assess prediction performance before full integration
- No public endorsement required - internal use only
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
Earthquake prediction involves inherent uncertainty. Seismikon predictions should inform preparedness reviews, not drive automatic network changes. Operators should maintain standard emergency response plans alongside any prediction service.
