National Earthquake Information Center

The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is a part of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) that monitors and reports on earthquakes. It provides real-time data about earthquakes occurring around the world, analyzing their magnitude, location, and depth. The NEIC plays a crucial role in public safety by informing emergency responders and the public about seismic activity. It also conducts research to better understand earthquakes, helping to improve preparedness and response strategies. By tracking seismic events, the NEIC contributes to minimizing the impact of earthquakes on communities and infrastructure.
