Targeted ANSS urban networks and seismic hazard.The ANSS will be a nationwide network of at least 7000 shaking measurement systems, both on the ground and in buildings.  ANSS data will provide emergency response personnel with real-time earthquake information, engineers with information about building and site response,& scientists with high-quality data to understand earthquake processes.


Advanced National Seismic System

The goal of the ANSS is to build a nationwide network of shaking measurement systems, both on the ground and in buildings. Such a system would provide emergency response personnel with real-time earthquake information, engineers with information about building and site response, and scientists with high quality data to understand earthquake processes and earth structure. 


Earthquake monitoring  in the Central & Eastern US

Earthquakes in the central and most of the eastern US are recorded by a system of monitoring networks operated by local and regional institutions.  These networks in the mid-America region of the US  work together to share information and common operational procedures under the umbrella of the growing Advanced National Seismic System.

National Strong Motion Program
This program has primary Federal responsibility for recording each damaging earthquake in the United States. It maintains a national cooperative instrumentation network, a national data center, and a data analyses and research center.
The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program (EHP) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is part of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) lead by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
