Emergency managers and seismologists say we're lucky the 2020 quake wasn't worse and they're working to strengthen Utah's earthquake resilience. The state gave $2.5 million dollars to Utah State University for its earthquake engineering research center to study how to better design infrastructure.
The University of Utah seismograph stations located more than 2,500 aftershocks after the initial 2020 earthquake.
Here's a breakdown of what happened after the main shock, which was widely felt across the Wasatch Front.
The largest aftershocks were two magnitude 4.6 events that occurred at 8:02 a.m. and 1:12 p.m. on March 18.
On April 14 and 17, two magnitude 4.2 aftershocks occurred, which were widely felt along the Wasatch Front.
