Training:

Information on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale, or “Mike Mike” is on our ARES Website under Training/Modified Mercalli Scale. In Santa Cruz County we use this scale to report observed earthquake intensity and damage, with Mike Mike 1 being not felt at all/no observed damage, and MM 8 being severe shaking and damage.  There are detailed explanations of the levels on our website.
