New Website for Earthquake Information from the USGS

The USGS Earthquake Hazards Program has launched a new website, earthquakes.usgs.gov, that serves as the entry point for all USGS earthquake information. The site provides information for both global and U.S. earthquakes, and links regional USGS earthquake centers from across the country. Included are answers to frequently-asked earthquake questions, real-time displays of seismicity, historic earthquake information, and products such as seismicity maps and national seismic hazard maps. Another valuable resource included is an earthquake education website entitled "Earthquakes for Kids...& Grownups", with a comprehensive list of links for learning about earthquakes for kids, teachers, and adults. Additional content and online activities are under development.
