In recognition of the 200th Anniversary of the New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811-1812, the US Geological Survey has released several short New Madrid earthquake related videos on YouTube. The videos were produced for the official NMB Kickoff, on February 11, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Kickoff was held as part of the 18th Annual "Earthquakes: Mean Business" seminar hosted by St. Louis University.
The video series include topics on New Madrid earthquake history, science, planning, and more. View the videos below or by visiting the YouTube channel at - http://www.youtube.com/user/NewMadrid2011
