Los Angeles Area Seismic Network (LAASN)

The Los Angeles Area Seismic Network (LAASN) is a system of specialized sensors and computers that monitor seismic activity in the Los Angeles region. It detects and records earthquakes in real time, providing crucial data to help scientists understand seismic hazards. This network supports early warning efforts, informs emergency responses, and advances earthquake research, ultimately aiming to improve public safety by enabling faster and more accurate assessments of seismic events.
