National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC)

The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is a branch of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that monitors and reports on earthquakes worldwide. Based in Colorado, it operates a network of sensors to detect seismic activity, providing real-time data on earthquake locations, magnitudes, and impacts. The NEIC aims to enhance understanding of earthquakes, improve safety measures, and support emergency response efforts. It also offers educational resources and public information to help communities prepare for potential earthquakes, contributing to overall disaster readiness and awareness.
