Pacific Northwest Seismic Network

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) is a collaborative organization that monitors earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, which includes parts of Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. Utilizing a network of seismic sensors, PNSN detects and analyzes ground movements to provide real-time earthquake data, assess risks, and enhance public safety. They also conduct research on seismic activity and educate the public about earthquake preparedness. The PNSN plays a vital role in understanding and mitigating the impacts of earthquakes in an area that is seismically active due to tectonic plate boundaries.
