The Wabash Valley Seismic Zone Rumbles to Life PDF Print E-mail
April 18 – The Wabash Valley Seismic Zone experienced a 5.2 magnitude earthquake this morning at approximately 0540.  Very minor damage was reported in the immediate area while residents in Allen County reported feeling the quake.  Although infrequent, Indiana does have several active seismic zones and Hoosiers should have a basic understanding of what happens during an earthquake and what actions to take.  The Central United States Earthquake Consortium (http://www.cusec.org/) provides useful information.

National Response Framework PDF Print E-mail

Feb 2008 - The new National Response Framework has been released.  The National Response Framework supersedes the National Response Plan and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent.  Working toegther to secure our homeland is the key concept; "An effective, unified national response requires layered, mutually supporting capabilities, with States having the primary responsibility for public health and welfare of its citizens. Five elemental principles of operation constitute national response doctrine:"

  1. Engaged partnerships
  2. Tiered response
  3. Scalable, flexible and adaptable operational capabilities
  4. Unity of effort through unified command
  5. Readiness to act
