House Resolution No. urges the Department of Conservation and Energy, in collaboration with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), to conduct a comprehensive study of seismic activity in Red River, Sabine, De Soto, Caddo, Bienville, and Natchitoches Parishes. This resolution highlights recent reports of earthquakes in these areas, which have raised concerns about potential risks to public safety, property, and infrastructure. The resolution emphasizes the need for a better understanding of the geological structures and possible human influences contributing to these seismic events, as well as the establishment of a state-wide seismic monitoring network to enhance detection and analysis of such activities.

The resolution calls for the Department of Conservation and Energy to gather all relevant data and assess the causes and characteristics of the seismic activity, with a report of findings due to the House of Representatives by February 1, 2027. It also encourages cooperation between state and federal agencies to expedite the investigation and develop recommendations for improving earthquake prediction, preparedness, and mitigation strategies in Louisiana. A copy of the resolution will be sent to various officials, including those in the Department of Conservation and Energy and the USGS, to ensure awareness and collaboration on this important issue.
