Happy #FieldWorkFriday 🛠️ This week, our field techs serviced seismic site VERN—swapping batteries, adding a solar panel, and completing routine maintenance to keep stations running 24/7 for real-time data and #ShakeAlert

It’s #FieldWorkFriday! 🛠️ OHAZ field techs looped through Eastern OR to service sites ADEL, LKVW, LOST, and KFAL—replacing batteries and programming charge controllers to extend system life. Year-round maintenance keeps real-time data flowing for research and #ShakeAlert.

❄️Even when wildfire season is over, OHAZ cameras serve critical purposes, like monitoring winter sports runs! We operate cameras at #WillamettePass⛷️ and #Timberline 🏂. Check the snow 24/7 on alertwest.live and the Watch Duty App. #OregonSnowboarding #OregonSkiing

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Oregon Hazards Lab!🎄❄️ Last night, a few of our cameras picked up some strange activity*🤔 *Note: The information bar typically included in camera screenshots has been removed for the privacy of those in the image… We’d like to stay on the Nice List

It’s #FieldWorkFriday! 🛠️ This week, field technicians visited seismic site ROGE in Southern Oregon. During their solar array upgrade, they were able to make friends with what we believe is a Clouded Salamander! 🦎 #GoDucks #STEM

It’s #FieldWorkFriday! Last week, our techs visited seismic site SNAKE and other stations across southwest Oregon to keep the network healthy and ready for tiny ground motions. OHAZ often installs @pnsn1 stations near fire lookouts thanks to their quiet, remote locations.

OHAZ Wrapped 2025! 62,258 miles, 153 field days, and 4.2 million Oregonians protected. Here’s to the towers we climbed and the conduit trenches we dug. See you out there in the 2026 field season! 💚💛🦆 #Wrapped #stem #Oregon #GoDucks

It’s #FieldWorkFriday! OHAZ multi-hazards staff & student techs wrapped up their rope-access training 🪢 to help prep for cert upgrades, test new techniques 🧗, & gear up for next field season. This training keeps them safe, efficient & effective while climbing comms towers!

Happy #FieldworkFriday! This week, OHAZ multi-hazard techs spent 3 days training with our lead seismic tech to learn more about the seismic systems and operating procedures we run with the @pnsn1.bsky.social#FieldworkFridaynetwork. Perfect timing for the winter #fieldwork season! 🛠️❄️ #WomeninSTEM #STEM

DYK the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network is managed jointly by UO, UW, and USGS? Together we operate 700+ seismic monitoring stations! #FieldWorkFriday Field technicians from OHAZ and UW recently teamed up to upgrade VLM, a @pnsn1.bsky.social site NW of Mt. Hood. Team work makes the dream work! 🦆🐾

On this World Tsunami Awareness Day, we look back at the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake and tsunami and reflect on the lessons learned and scientific advances made in tsunami warning. #TsunamiDay Watch: The Science Behind the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman Earthquake & Tsunami 📽️ https://loom.ly/nvoYSSA

Today is World Tsunami Awareness Day. If you are on the coast and feel shaking or get an earthquake early warning alert, you should #DropCoverHoldOn. Wait for shaking to stop. Then evacuate to high ground or inland. A tsunami may be coming! Learn about #ShakeAlert at usgs.gov/FAQ/BeShakeAlertSafe.

We just added two new wildfire cameras in the Columbia River Gorge! #FieldworkFriday The Stacker and Juniper cameras are in WA so they can spot fires on both sides of the river. Thanks Klickitat PUD for hosting them! Live feeds will be available soon on ALERTWest.live and the @watchduty.org app.

This webinar is happening today at 1pm!

The #ShakeAlert System rapidly detects earthquakes and alerts people before dangerous shaking arrives. A free @cascadiaeqs.bsky.social webinar on 10/23 will share how community lifelines can use #EEW technology to protect critical infrastructure. 🔗 Register: cascadiaquakes.org/2025/09/08/c...

Today is the #ShakeOut earthquake drill! Join us at the @uoregon.bsky.social Museum of Natural and Cultural History for a special Walk & Talk about earthquakes and preparedness. The program begins at 2pm at @uomnch.bsky.social. Learn more at mnch.uoregon.edu/index.php/learn/great-oregon-shakeout.

It's International ShakeOut Day! Take a moment at 10:16 a.m. (local time) to practice your “Drop, Cover, and Hold On." If you live in an earthquake-prone region, it isn’t a question of if, but when an earthquake will occur. Be sure to make a plan and be prepared! 📽️ https://loom.ly/Nh4BnmE

Recent @Mariners games have been shaking things up enough for our seismometers to notice but those waves are all in good fun. It's a great reminder that real quakes can happen anytime. Join us tomorrow (10/16) for @ShakeOut and practice what to do when the ground really moves.

OHAZ mobile camera units are already making a difference on the #MoonComplexFire. Rapidly deployed to incident last week, OHAZ Mobile Unit 3 is providing firefighters with real-time intelligence to make faster, safer decisions. This situational awareness helps to protect both crews and communities!

Happy National Public Lands Day! Oregon's beautiful landscapes were shaped by powerful geologic forces like earthquakes. If you visit a park today for #NPLD, remember to be #ShakeAlert Ready Outdoors! Double check that you can get #EEW alerts on your phone and know the signs of earthquakes.

OHAZ just deployed a new wildfire camera at Jackass Butte in Harney County! #FieldworkFriday Earlier this year, we added a portable camera as a temporary solution to help during fire season. The permanent camera is now installed. We thank the Bureau of Land Management for sponsoring the project!

UO Foundation created a Duckfunder for OHAZ and other @uocas.bsky.social programs! Support OHAZ with a gift, which will directly contribute to operating and expanding our wildfire camera network. Donate today at duckfunder.uoregon.edu/g/wildfire. Thanks @uoregon.bsky.social for setting this up!

Readiness begins at home. Earthquakes can topple furniture, knock books off shelves, and even slide houses off their foundations. But you can improve safety and mitigate damage through seismic retrofits, earthquake insurance, and home hazards hunts. #SeismicSaturday #NationalPreparednessMonth

OHAZ traveled to DC this week for a Congressional briefing on the ShakeAlert System! We shared updates about #ShakeAlert and how #EEW protects people and speeds recovery. Thank you to Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici for hosting the briefing and for her enduring advocacy for this public service.

OHAZ will host the 10/23 webinar and deliver a presentation about the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System. Register at oregonstate.zoom.us/webinar/regi....

This webinar is tomorrow! Learn more and register at www.earthscope.org/event/earthscope-and-crescent-webinar-explore-your-future-geoscience-career-panel.

USGS has issued a statement noting that Mount St. Helens has strong easterly–southeasterly winds in the vicinity of Mount St. Helens, which have picked up loose volcanic ash deposited during the 1980 eruptions. You can view the live web cam here: www.usgs.gov/media/webcam...

Earthquakes can disrupt communities for weeks, especially if aid takes time to arrive. Build an emergency kit with two weeks of supplies in case your family must shelter in place, plus a go-bag for sudden evacuations. #NationalPreparednessMonth #SeismicSaturday #BeTwoWeeksReady

Look at the sunset from Wagontire Mtn! #FieldworkFriday OHAZ operates a wildfire camera and a @pnsn1.bsky.social seismic station at Wagontire. We traveled there last month to improve its telemetry connection with Pine Mtn. Rapidly and reliably sending data is vital to real-time disaster monitoring!

Today we honor the lives lost on 9/11 and the courage of first responders who ran toward danger. CAL FIRE (then CDF) joined recovery efforts in New York, standing with firefighters nationwide. 24 years later, we remain committed to service, sacrifice, and resilience. #NeverForget #PatriotDay

It’s 🔥#WildfireWednesday! OHAZ Associate Director Nick Maggio visited PacifiCorp’s new Wildfire Intelligence Center in Medford with partners from PacifiCorp, Watch Duty & ALERTWest. Together, we’re using OHAZ cameras to boost wildfire awareness & guide emergency power shut-offs.
