Shakemap
ShakeMap, developed by the USGS, facilitates communication of earthquake information beyond just magnitude and location. By rapidly mapping out earthquake ground motions, ShakeMap portrays the distribution and severity of shaking.
ViewDid You Feel It
The USGS collects information from people who felt an earthquake and creates maps that show what people experienced and the extent of the damage.
