To learn more about the Strong Motion Instrumentation Program, read this short article in the new issue of California Geology Magazine! www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/document...

Map of California showing the location of SMIP stations. Most stations are concentrated in urban areas. Around the edges of the map are pictures showing buildings and infrastructure that are instrumented.

For over 50 years, the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program has been collecting and disseminating valuable seismic data and products to increase public safety by enhancing rapid post-earthquake response capabilities and improving building codes for safer structures. 🧪

3 people stand in the desert looking at a small cliff (scarp) formed by the earthquake. The ground around them is cracked and broken.

The 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes provided an opportunity to collect a rich and unique set of observations that can be used to improve our understanding of earthquakes, test new technologies & allow us to better prepare for future earthquakes. 🧪 www.conservation.ca.gov/cgs/document...
