2021 Virtual Earthquake Summit

Please join us for the 3rd annual Earthquake Summit! This year’s event will be virtual, with five webinars throughout February that will teach us more about the New Madrid Seismic Zone, centered in southeast Missouri, and how we can better prepare, respond and recover after an earthquake. Experts from across the country will lead sessions on school safety, building assessment, utilities preparation and more.

All sessions are FREE, with certificates provided that may be submitted to your professional organizations. You may choose to attend any or all sessions. Please click below for the event information and registration links.
