Earthquake Insight Field Trip - April 10, 2012

Press Release
February 14, 2012
For more information, please contact: Phyllis Steckel; 636-239-4013 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 636-239-4013 end_of_the_skype_highlighting; psteckel@charter.net
Earthquake Insight Field Trip Planned for April 10
Eighth annual will visit the heart of the New Madrid Seismic Zone
On Tuesday, April 10, the US Geological Survey will host the eighth annual Earthquake Insight Field Trip. This one-day outreach event will start and end in Memphis, Tenn. Field trip participants will learn about the earthquake history of the central US and current exposures to earthquake hazards in this area.
It is especially for non-scientists, such as emergency planners, business leaders, elected officials, media, finance and equity professionals, risk managers, portfolio managers, lenders, and business continuity planners. The field trip will be led by geoscientists, engineers, and emergency planners who are active in current research and practice.
Please help get the word out: there is no budget for formal advertising. Feel free to forward this invitation to peers; co-workers; and industry, professional, and community groups whose members may benefit.
The field-trip route will include earthquake-related sites in northeast Arkansas, southeast Missouri, and western Tennessee. There will also be discussion of several industries that have concentrated exposure to earthquake risk in the central US.
Much of the value of past Earthquake Insight Field Trips was from the candid, one-on-one discussions between earthquake professionals and field-trip participants, who have mostly been from private-sector leadership.
Past participants have represented State Farm Companies, Pfizer, FM Global, the Missouri State Senate, Wal-Mart, Chubb, AON, AG Edwards (now Wells Fargo Advisors), ABC/Disney, General Reinsurance, Time-Warner, Dillard’s, Odyssey Re, The Republic Group, ANPAC, Shelter Insurance, Edward Jones, St. Paul/Travelers, Enbridge, Swiss Re, and many others.

To register, please contact Phyllis Steckel at psteckel@charter.net or 636-239-4013 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 636-239-4013 end_of_the_skype_highlighting as soon as possible. Due to logistical constraints, the group is strictly limited to 30 participants.
Registration cost for the field trip is $95.
This year, the Earthquake Insight Field Trip is a shoulder event to the 2012 National Earthquake Conference (NEC) and the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI). However, field-trip participants are not required to attend either of these events.
The final report of the first Earthquake Insight Field Trip, which was in 2005, is posted at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/external/reports/05HQGR0014.pdf. The route and content of each Earthquake Insight Field Trip since then has been unique.
