Subject: Intended as both a research tool and an informational publication for the general public. Explains how Browning's prediction of a major central U.S. earthquake became credible to many members of the media, many emergency preparedness personnel, and a broad segment of the general public, even though it was never accepted by the scientific community. The results were enormous public concern and expense that could have been avoided. A unique aspect of this report is that it contains much of its own source material - some 200 press reports and other documentation
