The Kentucky Seismic and Strong Motion Network

The Kentucky Seismic and Strong Motion Network, run by the Kentucky Geological Survey, is made up of 24 stations across the state. Eleven of those stations have strong-motion sensors (accelerometers) and 18 have weak-motion sensors (seismometers). Five stations have both. Data from these stations has helped Kentucky develop better building codes.
