[S01-2-03] The Mexican National Seismological Service: An overview
The Servicio Sismologico Nacional (SSN, Mexican National Seismological Service) has a history of 107 years. In the last 10 years, it has gone through an important modernization process, which has involved the installation of new broadband stations; co-localization of GPS receivers with the velocity and acceleration sensors; collaboration with other Mexican networks to increase the number of stations from which it receives data; migration to larger and faster acquisition, processing and storing systems; and a new building that hosts the central facilities. 2017 marks the beginning of a new period of the SSN, since a significant increase on the number of stations and computer capabilities will be part of a new project. On this work, we will present an evaluation of the current performance of the network, the communication and system architecture, as well as monitoring and reporting processes, which include the use of social networks and a mobile app; this towards the optimal design of the upcoming improvements.
