[EHPweb] earthquake feeds & data web page input

[Jeremy M Fee]

I think that's reasonable to at least link to catalog searches from  
this page.  We need to strike a balance between the real-time context  
of this page and the long-term context of the Scientific Data page (or  
do we?).


Eric also suggested regional feeds, only California earthquakes for  
example, which have been requested by the public in the past.


Thanks,

Jeremy
