Earthquakes, the New Madrid Fault - Arkansas

Mission of the Arkansas Earthquake Center

During the past few years, the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management (ADEM) and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) have established a collaborative program to assist the state of Arkansas in Hazard Mitigation Planning and Public Education. Through this program, the Arkansas Center for Earthquake Education and Technology Transfer (ACEETT) has set three distinct but overlapping tasks for its mission. These include (1) public education, (2) hazard mitigation and (3) scientific research. Each of these tasks will work toward the Project Impact goal of making communities more disaster resistant. Currently, ACEETT is collaborating with other regional centers (e.g., St. Louis University, Memphis State University, USGS, and CUSEC) to accomplish its mission. The ACEETT staff and a number of UALR faculty have committed to actively participate in FEMA's Project Impact.

CUSEC serves as a "coordinating hub" for the region, performing the critical role of coordinating the multi-state efforts of the central region. Its coordinating role is largely facilitative and not as the primary implementer of emergency management functions which is the responsibility of each individual state.
