ANSS - Advanced National Seismic System
National Earthquake Information Center
Mission
The mission of the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is to rapidly determine location and size of all destructive earthquakes worldwide and to immediately disseminate this information to concerned national and international agencies, scientists, and the general public. As the World Data Center for Seismology located in Denver, CO, the NEIC compiles and maintains and extensive global seismic database on earthquake parameters and their effects that serve as a solid foundation for basic and applied earth science research.
