Earthquake Awareness Month
February is Earthquake Awareness Month in Missouri. Earthquakes warrant special attention in Missouri due to the presence of the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the southeast corner of the state. In the 1810's it generated some of the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history. The New Madrid Seismic Zone is still active, with an average of over 200 tiny earthquakes each year.
