Earthquake events are published by USGS’s Product Distribution Layer (PDL) to the #aria-sds slack channel if the events pass the M6.0 threshold. Even if they do pass the threshold, the operator should shall confirm that support for the event is being requested via email. All other event types will require that an AOI be created manually – either by the scientist or operator. If an AOI is created by a non-SDS team member, it is recommended that the SDS team be notified. If an AOI is to be manually created by the SDS team, the AOI spatial extent should be provided to the SDS team.

Several members of the aria-hysds SDS team shall be WAM’ed continuously on a disasters-response account to allow for immediate response. Team members will make a best-attempt at supporting off-hours urgent response events, but cannot guarantee support will be available to respond to all off-hours events. ARIA management will be notified whether or not support will be provided, regardless. Early notification of requested support facilitates personnel scheduling.
Task Management
...
Urgent response events should have their own Jira ticket and team members should report efforts provided in support of the event in that ticketA Jira ticket shall be created by the SDS team for each urgent response event and team members providing support for the event shall detail their efforts in these tickets. Support for the events may change the scope of the sprint. Any tasks that were planned for the current sprint that can no longer be completed within the sprint as a result of accommodating urgent response will may be pushed to the backlog. ARIA management will shall be notified of the scope change when the event’s affect has been properly assessed.
...
A wiki page shall be created by the SDS team under the Urgent Response header for each event. This page will contain a brief summary of the event (i.e. type, temporal span, etc.) and list the generated product types along with links to them. The Jira ticket created for the event should shall be linked to the wiki page to provide additional insight into the processing and effort that was provided.
The product generation PGE’s have corresponding email notification PGE’s that send an email to specified addresses when a product has been generated. The event scientists’ email emails will be added to the notification list if it is not there to ensure they all are aware the products have been published.
...
Support for the complete temporal span of the AOI is often not requested. The operator will communicate with the event scientist to confirm whether or not this is the case for events being supported. If support is stopped before the AOI expires, the AOI will be turned off and no future products for that AOI will be generated. The operator will then also confirm with the event scientist whether or not products may be deleted.
