Two #earthquakes (magnitudes 4.3 and 5.2) occurred near Silver Springs today at 1:15am and 1:18am! You can see the aftershock rate pick up after those events on this #seismogram from station PWRL. PWRL was installed April 15th, the day after the 5.7, to monitor aftershocks.

Thank you @Pres_Sandoval, we're always proud to represent the Pack!
Thank you to the @tahoefund, our partners, donors, and everyone who voted for the @unevadareno Nevada Seismological Laboratory's ALERTWildfire during Tahoe Fund's "Tahoe Project Madness" event! We are grateful for your support and confidence in this critically important program that has stopped over 100 Tahoe-area fires before reaching one acre. Early detection of wildfires reduces the risk of catastrophic wildfires and protects Lake Tahoe. #GoPack

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

Events like this underscore the importance of adding Nevada to the ShakeAlert program to ensure we can provide the fastest and most accurate earthquake alerts for Nevadans.

NV Energy’s Power Safe NV team partnered up with @unevadareno / @UNRScience's Seismology Lab to install a new wildfire camera on top our South Reno building - one of many installed through our ongoing collaboration. These cameras provide early wildfire detection, helping agencies respond quickly and effectively.
🎥 You can view this camera — along with others across Nevada — at AlertWildfire.org or on the Watch Duty app and website at watchduty.org.
