This dataset provides the input and results of running the food and water requirements model, a simplified, deterministic model of initial resource requirements in disaster response, within the geophysical hazard context of the “ShakeOut” scenario—a major Mw 7.8 earthquake on California’s San Andreas Fault, occurring within the Los Angeles Basin, CA (USA) region. Point data (centroids) are used in analysis from ambient population count by ~1- km (30-arcsecond) raster grid cells within a subset of the LandScan Global Population Database (2015) in The State of California including: Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura Counties. Projected to WGS 1984 UTM 11N. This is an experimental product for application in a simulated earthquake scenario. Actual resource needs will vary, depending on the event.
