This morning, seismic monitors detected an earthquake swarm at Mount Rainier. USGS says there is no indication that the swarm is a cause for concern, but it's a great reminder that we live in a very volcanic region. Here are resources to help you be prepared for an earthquake and/or eruption.

What is an earthquake swarm?

A cluster of earthquakes occurring in the same area in rapid succession

What are scientists monitoring at Mount Rainier?

USGS and the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network keep tabs on:
Seismic activity
Ground deformation
Gas monitoring

Should I be worried about the recent earthquake swarm?

According to the USGS, there is no indication that the activity is a cause for concern. The swarm is within normal background activity at Mount Rainier
