Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

This animation shows what happens when rapid deployment kits (RDKs) are deployed after an earthquake. It is part of a series of Field Activity Technique Engagement Animations. The target audience are the communities that are impacted by GA's data acquisition activities. There is no sound or voice over. The 2D animation includes a simplified view of what rapid deployment kits (RDKs) look like, what is measured, and how scientists use the data.
