[Shakecast-users] Accessing ShakeMap Atals from within ShakeCast

[Kuo-Wan Lin]

Greetings,

This email is being sent to everyone who has registered as a user of 
ShakeCast, software that provides post-earthquake damage assessment
shortly after they occur.

Recently we had just expanded the Atlas of ShakeMaps on the USGS web 
site from the current list of ~950 earthquakes to over 5500.  The new 
inventory have a new version tag of 1.1 and include HAZUS input files 
for all US events and selected events between 1960-1972.  These maps 
represent our best-effort results and their completeness ideal for the 
purpose of scenario planning and exercise. 

Unfortunately, the new decimal version number of Atlas (as oppose to 
integer version number for real-time systems) caused the ShakeCast 
function to fail after download.  I have posted the bug-fix of two files 
to the ftp site below and have included it into the current installer 
(even thought it retains the same version number).

ftp://ftpext.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/golden/lin/Atlas_ShakeCast_fix/

To apply the update, simply replace both files on your local ShakeCast 
system with the ones on the ftp site.
