Three earthquakes, estimated at magnitude 7.0 or greater, occurred along the New Madrid fault in the winter of 1811-12 and small earthquakes occur in Missouri daily. These earthquakes are a natural hazard than no one can accurately predict. Fortunately, there are things everyone can do to be better prepared. To raise awareness, geologist with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources will partner with local, state and federal agencies and organizations by participating in a number of public activities and educational opportunities regarding the basics of earthquakes. Missourians are encouraged to attend public events throughout the month. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Explore Raising Skinny Elephants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** *VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED* ** A SLUUG Member To Create And Maintain A Meetup Presence Contact the SLUUG Steering Committee mailto:info@sluug.org =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: All Public www.sluug.org Mailing Lists http://www.sluug.org/mailman/listinfo/ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: SLUUG Online Chat at freenode.net channel #sluug :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: See SLUUG Internet Relay Chat ~ http://www.sluug.org/resources/irc/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Always check for last minute changes & updates by checking our calendar at http://www.sluug.org/resources/calendar and each individual website.
