"30 Years After: The Evolution of Earthquake Science and Preparedness"
The 1994 Northridge earthquake led to significant advancements in earthquake science and technology, including the development of ShakeMap for tracking ground motion, the establishment of the ShakeAlert early warning system, and the expansion of seismic monitoring networks. These advancements have improved earthquake response and preparedness efforts, but challenges remain in engaging the public, improving early warning systems, and fostering community resilience in the face of future earthquakes.
