Electronic Supplement to
Exploiting the Demographics of “Did You Feel It?” Responses to Estimate the Felt Area of Moderate Earthquakes in California

by John Boatwright and Eleyne Phillips

This electronic supplement contains “Did You Feel It?” (DYFI) maps for moderate (M 3.5–6.0) earthquakes in northern California.

The links to the DYFI maps for these 15 earthquakes have been incorporated to allow readers to review them easily and to evaluate for themselves the fragmentation of the felt areas that this article seeks to address. The brief comments highlight aspects of these DYFI maps that are similar to or different from the maps of the two earthquakes that are analyzed in the main article.
