Geohazards in the Pacific Northwest cause significant annual financial losses. To address this, the University of Washington's Photonic Sensing Facility (PSF) collects seismic data using advanced Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology. Their primary objective is to develop a user-friendly web application for widespread data access and visualization. The target audience includes researchers, public scientists, geohazard enthusiasts, and educators. This initiative aims to enhance geohazard monitoring, mitigate risks, and promote knowledge sharing. PSF's efforts contribute to addressing the pressing issue of geohazards monitoring while facilitating collaboration and informed decision-making.
