A graphic shows furniture toppling during an earthquake and encourages people to address home hazards during National Preparedness Month.
This graphic for National Preparedness Month has tips for addressing earthquake hazards at home.
Readiness begins at home. Earthquakes can topple furniture, knock books off shelves, and even slide houses off their foundations. But you can improve safety and mitigate damage through seismic retrofits, earthquake insurance, and home hazards hunts. #SeismicSaturday #NationalPreparednessMonth
In July 2021, the Askja caldera in Iceland began to reinflate, with > 85 cm of uplift and a surge in seismicity. Between September 2021 and September 2023, 12 seismometers were deployed to Iceland to monitor local seismicity and model the physical properties.

This graphic for National Preparedness Month encourages people to build an emergency kit with a two-week supply of food, water, and medications.
This graphic for National Preparedness Month gives examples of items to include in emergency kits and go-bags.
Earthquakes can disrupt communities for weeks, especially if aid takes time to arrive. Build an emergency kit with two weeks of supplies in case your family must shelter in place, plus a go-bag for sudden evacuations.

In September 2023, a rockslide into a fjord in eastern Greenland generated a tsunami. The oscillation of the tsunami wave in the fjord created a resonant standing wave called a seiche. This seiche caused a 10.88 mHz seismic signal that rang for 9 days.
