ShakeMap's goal is to "go beyond magnitude and epicenter " to depict the variations in the distribution of shaking intensity. Here, "shaking intensity" is used informally, as in "how intense was the shaking?" ShakeMap is now an open-source software program employed to automatically produce a suite of maps and products that portray the geographical extent and severity of potentially damaging shaking following an earthquake. It is routinely used to provide post-earthquake situational awareness for emergency management and response and for damage and loss estimation.
