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.
