The US Geological Survey released a report in December 2023 detailing the risk of dangerous earthquakes around the country.
The risk is much lower compared to, say, California , but experts say that when it comes to earthquake resistance, the New Madrid region suffers from inadequate building codes and infrastructure.
The region has a 25 to 40 percent chance of a magnitude 6.0 or higher earthquake in 50 years .
