Worked for the Mid-America Earthquake Center for two years. Didn’t feel the quake since I’m in Texas, but I have a feeling my former research is going to be resurrected and refunded… It was about preserving the bridge network (bridges now being a hot-button item) in Southern Illinois (hey, that’s now a hot-button item, too).

Here’s a seismic hazard map, if you’d like to know which areas of the country are seismically hazardous.

Here’s the Mid-America Earthquake Center’s website, if you’d like to find out more about the research and preparation that’s being done.
