Problem
There was an earthquake northwest of St. Himark. It occurred between 6 April 2020 and 8 April 2020. The city's officials needed to collect data immediately to understand the extent of the damage. Then can then allocate resources efficiently to the areas of town where it's needed and dispatch their emergency services.
At first, they only have the seismic readings of the earthquake and used that for their first round of dispatch. Now, however, they need more information to get a better gauge of what is going on on the ground level/
