sm_create

“Clone” a ShakeMap from NEIC Comcat, or create an event from scratch.

Notes on usage:

eventid is a ComCat event ID. For example, for this event: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000ar20 The event ID is us2000ar20.

If no source is specified, then the event ID used for the event directory, eventid field in event.xml file, and names of data and fault files will be that of the authoritative origin.

If a source (us, ci, nc, etc.) is specified, then that ID is used instead of the authoritative ID.
