Abstract
Rapid advances in technology and decreasing costs of data collection and transmission are providing a wealth of new opportunities in earthquake monitoring, information, and hazard research. This paper outlines both the current situation and future directions of Natural Resources Canada in terms of earthquake monitoring and information dissemination in Canada. In addition, it describes some of the new research opportunities and products that would result from the deployment of modern, dense seismograph networks in urban areas such as greater Vancouver. These products, including 'ShakeMap', provide detailed, earthquake ground-shaking maps across urban areas. They assist with rapid emergency response efforts after a major earthquake, and with earthquake research, planning, and damage mitigation efforts before an earthquake.
