Hello,

The realtime-feeds list is only for announcements.  Please subscribe and send future emails to the realtime-feed-users email list at:
https://geohazards.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/realtime-feed-users


Links in realtime feeds change as the information is updated, and old versions of information are removed 1 hour after a new version is added.  Looking in the detail feed for the event, at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/detail/usb000ry8m.geojson , the ShakeMap was updated at 5:45am pacific and the version specific URL for the current overlay version (as of 8am pacific) is:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/product/shakemap/usb000ry8m/us/1406637911369/download/overlay.kmz

You have several options to avoid broken links:
1) download the overlay file when you discover the link, and use that specific version (potentially missing updates)

2) periodically check the feed for the current link

3) use our Event KML network link wrapper which auto-updates and includes the latest version of ShakeMap and other information

Thanks,

Jeremy

Subject: Earthquake kml file missing
Group,

We received an earthquake notice on our USGS feed at about 4:45AM PST this morning:

Earthquake us/b000ry8m, place: 19km SW of Juan Rodriguez Clara, Mexico mag 6.3 found. Shakemap URL = 'http://earthquake.usgs.gov/product/shakemap/usb000ry8m/us/1406632057353/download/overlay.kmz'

By about 7AM the file had disappeared and no replacement had been made. We run our feed every 10 minutes to fetch updates made during the past hour. Does anyone have a strategy for ensuring stable files? Do you store the files in your databases?

Thanks very much,
Wesley A Rogers
