Scientists map local earthquake risks from Eagle Ford fracking
Stanford scientists simulated the local risk of damaging or nuisance-level shaking caused by hydraulic fracturing across the Eagle Ford shale formation in Texas. The results could inform a new approach to managing human-caused earthquakes. By Josie Garthwaite
Hydraulic fracturing to extract trapped fossil fuels can trigger earthquakes. Most are so small or far from homes and infrastructure that they may go unnoticed; others can rattle windows, sway light fixtures and jolt people from sleep; some have damaged buildings.
Stanford University geophysicists have simulated and mapped the risk of noticeable shaking and possible building damage from earthquakes caused by hydraulic fracturing at all potential fracking sites across the Eagle Ford shale formation in Texas, which has hosted some of the largest fracking-triggered earthquakes in the United Sta

Olmsted County made space available for people without homes to quarantine at 105 N. Broadway Ave. The city of Rochester also converted space at 200 Fourth St. SE for COVID quarantine. Before the end of the month, the community paramedic team was making regular visits to people quarantining at both locations.
Initially, the community paramedic program was a pilot program focused on treating people with chronic illness such as diabetes. However, as COVID-19 hit, some of the participating paramedics were given clearance to devote more of their workweek hours to community paramedicine. McCoy said neither the decision makers at Mayo nor the paramedics had any hesitance to provide regular checkups to homeless COVID
