When it comes to natural disasters, earthquakes are not typically something the average Ohioan worries about. But last month, Ohio participated in a nationwide earthquake drill that had increased participation in the Midwest. This hour, we'll talk about the risk in Ohio, the effects that fracking and wastewater wells have on seismic activity and what to do in the event of an earthquake.
Guests:
- Dr. Mike Hansen, Sr. Geologist and Network Coordinator, Ohio Department of Natural Resources
- Mark Benthien, Director for Communication, Education, and Outreach, The Southern California Earthquake Center
- Dr. Michael Brudzinski, Professor and Researcher, Miami University
