News from the Oregon Hazards Lab

The Oregon Hazards Lab at the University of Oregon will receive another round of federal funding — worth about $400,000 — to continue their research into earthquake early warning systems.

A recent boost in federal funding will move the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System closer to completion. ShakeAlert is being developed by the U.S. Geological Survey and researchers at the University of Oregon, University of Washington, California Institute of Technology and University of California, Berkeley.
