Clearly state OAF does not provide spatial forecasts

Open emartinez-usgs opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Somewhere, state explicitly that we are not providing spatial (map-based) forecasts. That could be in the Model Tab or How the Forecasts Work sections. Could also add a sentence about spatial likelihood. Something like this could work: "At this time we are not calculating spatial forecasts or providing maps to show areas with the highest likelihood of aftershocks. As a rule of thumb, aftershocks are most likely to occur near the mainshock fault plane and in areas already experiencing numerous aftershocks." (Those sentences could also be reversed.)

I think at the end of the Model Tab section would be okay.
