National Center for Seismology (NCS)

The National Center for Seismology (NCS) is an Indian government organization responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes and seismic activity across the country. It collects data from a network of seismological observatories to provide real-time information about earthquakes, analyze their patterns, and assess potential risks. The NCS plays a crucial role in disaster management and public safety by issuing alerts and raising awareness about seismic hazards. Additionally, it conducts research to enhance understanding of earthquakes, ultimately contributing to better preparedness and mitigation strategies for communities at risk.
