Monitoring quakes in Arizona

Arizona news media have been peppering AZGS staff with questions about the state's seismic hazards, in the aftermath of yesterday's moderat 5.4 quake in the Los Angeles basin (I haven't seen reports about which fault this was on, but it seems to be near the Whittier-Elsinore system).

Channel 5 in Phoenix did a nice job describing the new program to hold on to USArray stations in Arizona. Channel 12's story is below.
