Maggi’s Update on Cascadia Rising: Link to Cascadia Rising page

National level exercise called Cascadia Rising: First week of June (7th - 10th). Scenario earthquake. Multi-state functional exercise.
In partnership with California Earthquake Clearinghouse
Will lead to a series of subsequent exercises (e.g. Haywire Exercise in October, Vigilant Guard Exercise).
The cluster can observe on Cascadia Rising, and use that as a learning experience to see how we can get more involved, and then apply those lessons in the later exercises.
How can we observe? At minimum there will be a webex, but we can also work with the data that results.
The JPL team will also be having telecons during the week of the exercise that we can plug into.
Info available through xchangecore and spotonresponse (you can sign up for an account on spotonresponse.com).
Sean will setup a new wiki page for the Cascadia Rising Project on the Disaster Cluster wiki.
