The DNR Geology and Earth Resources Division, Washington's geological survey, partners with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and the U.S. Geological Survey in earthquake research.
If You Felt an Earthquake
Report it to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at http://www.pnsn.org/ - click on 'Report an Earthquake' and follow the link to the earthquake you felt. Reporting your experience allows scientists to tap the abundant information available about earthquakes from the people who actually experience them. By taking advantage of the vast numbers of Internet users, scientists can get a more complete description of what people experienced, the effects of the earthquake, and the extent of damage, than traditional ways of gathering felt information. And best of all, with your help they can do so almost instantly.
If You See Earthquake Damage, Landslides, Unusual Water Seepage, or Fountains of Water
Please describe it in an e-mail to the DNR Geology and Earth Resources Division at DGER_earthquake@sharepoint.dis.wa.gov. Be sure to tell us where you are. You can attach photos as well.
