Time for Utah to take action to replace (or retrofit) schools that pose significant danger to our K-12 students in the event of a major earthquake. So glad this report is public now. If your child goes to school in Utah, you can check the report to see the status of their school.

State officials say the report is a crucial step in mitigating the potential damage from a magnitude 6.75 or greater earthquake. https://t.co/ecUQDUQVEp

Let's not lose sight that by not mandating a vaccine, we are opting for a lesser school year for those who are vaccinated. How much does the world need to bend for those unwilling to do their part? Austin and all our students deserve better.

Hey @byu students, today is a great day to get vaccinated!

Dr. Lucy Jones is my favorite seismologist. She has a real knack for explaining things in ways we can all understand. You should follow her if you're interested in earthquakes.

The M5.7 is having plenty of aftershocks as expected. ~6% of the time, a quake is followed by a larger one within a couple of days. The Wasatch fault is a long fault, capable of much larger events. Most likely nothing bigger will happen but residents should be ready, just in case

We can use this opportunity to think carefully about what we can accomplish together to mitigate these risks. Our officials and first responders are doing a great job of emergency response; we just need to start thinking about longer term risk mitigation, resilience, & recovery.

This is my first tweet. Lots of people have been asking me what to do after Utah's recent 5.7 magnitude earthquake. Here are my thoughts and recommendations.

d) Investing in the resiliency of our lifeline infrastructure, such as a water, power, and sewage systems.
