The U.S. military is quietly preparing for one of America’s most dangerous natural disaster threats — a high-magnitude earthquake in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Spanning from Illinois to northeast Arkansas, this fault system has a history of producing some of the most powerful quakes in U.S. history. Now, new National Guard briefings and training exercises reveal that the threat is being taken with renewed urgency.

In early August, the Arkansas National Guard, alongside state and federal partners, intensified its disaster response planning. Their goal: to create a robust framework for rapid deployment in the event of a catastrophic quake — one that could cripple infrastructure, disrupt supply lines, and impact millions. The drills cover everything from mass casualty triage to restoring critical services, all under the looming possibility of a rare but devastating seismic event.

In this video, we break down why the military is prioritizing this region now, the earthquake patterns being monitored, and what a large-scale rupture could mean for states across the Midwest and South. From official briefings to seismic history, the signs point to one of the most underreported disaster risks in America.

📍Could the New Madrid Zone be America’s next mega-quake?
⚠ The military isn’t waiting to find out.
