The Nevada Broadcast of Earthquakes for Yucca Mtn.
The Nevada Broadcast
of Earthquakes is an experimental prototype earthquake warning
and response system. The map at left is refreshed every 5 minutes.
It shows every seismic event having magnitude >1.0 detected over the
last two weeks near Yucca Mountain, if any.
The map is automatically computer-generated; not all of the events
have been checked for accuracy by a seismologist.
The NBE is a project of the
Nevada Seismic Research
Affiliates of the
University of Nevada, Reno Foundation. It is partially supported
as well by the US Geological Survey as a component of the
Advanced National Seismic
System.
Please call (775) 784-4975 to verify any event reported here.

More disclaimers...
The NBE may show events occurring outside our monitoring network,
giving them erroneous locations near the network's borders.
Always check the analyst-reviewed locations
on our Recent Earthquakes page.
The NBE is a tool for rapid earthquake notification and response,
and does not produce an accurate record of earthquake locations.

showing the most recent 100 events (about 60 kbytes).
The latest of the last 100 events is also labeled boldly.
The PostScript plot is most usefully sent to your printer to output
a high-resolution map.
You can view a PostScript plot on your screen using a PostScript
display program such as GhostScriptor Adobe
Acrobat Distiller and Reader. Unfortunately, this PostScript file is
notEPS and will not directly import to
popular page-layout or graphics applications.
