National Networks

ANSS will be a nationwide network of at least 7000 shaking
measurement systems, both on the ground and in buildings that
will make it possible to provide emergency response personnel
with real-time earthquake information, provide engineers with
information about building and site response, and provide
scientists with high-quality data to understand earthquake
processes and solid earth structure and dynamics.

USNSN, operated by the USGS, provides uniform coverage of
the whole Nation and integrates data from its own stations
and the more than 2,500 seismograph stations in regional networks
of the United States. The regional networks provide information
about earthquakes to the USGS National Earthquake Information
Center (NEIC) in Colorado, which serves as a national point
of contact for distributing earthquake information.

NSMP has the primary Federal responsibility for recording
each damaging earthquake in the United States on the ground
and in man-made structures in densely urbanized areas to improve
public earthquake safety. The program maintains a national
cooperative instrumentation network, a national data center,
and a supporting strong-motion data analyses and research
center in support of this responsibility.
