A great way to contribute information about earthquakes you experience is through the USGS "Did You Feel It?" website. The "Did You Feel It" site encourages citizen participation in the scientific understanding and awareness of earthquakes as they happen. Check out the site:<br /><br />//earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/background.php<br /><br />FEMA and the USGS are partners in the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program along with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). You can find out more through our website:<br /><br />//www.nehrp.gov/about/agencies.htm<br /><br />And for more about the historic 1811-1812 New Madrid Earthquakes, see:<br /><br />//earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/events/1811-1812.php<br /><br /><br />Gene Longenecker<br />Physical Scientist<br />Earthquake Program Manager<br />FEMA Region IV
