The mission of the Ohio Seismic Network, with 25 stations strategically located throughout the state, is to "detect and precisely locate earthquakes within the state's borders, report the severity and potential damage from an event to emergency response officials, and to rapidly respond to media and citizen inquiries after a felt earthquake." Seismologists can view waveform data, find data on the stations, and can search through the Seismic Station Reference Manual. The website features the seismological research in Ohio including developing shear wave profiles of surficial deposits in Ohio. The public can learn about earthquakes in Ohio, examine an interactive earthquake map, find out about recent earthquakes in the region, and discover the earthquake hazards and risks.
