We take a closer look this hour at efforts to help address the high rate of suicide among autistic kids and teens. And if anyone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, resources include calling 988 or texting the word HOME to 741741.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was only after their son, Anthony, died by suicide in May of 2024 that his parents, Neil and Samara Tricarico, learned about the specific risks facing autistic kids — and how the warning signs can look different from those in non-autistic teens, in ways even attentive parents can miss.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the Tricaricos are determined to help others understand that missing piece through a nonprofit they founded called the Endurant Movement. Neil and Samara join me now. Thank you both for joining us. I really appreciate it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thank you, Mina. Thank you for having us.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And welcome to you as well, Samara. Thank you. I’d love to start by hearing more about Anthony. He sounded so oriented toward helping others.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricario:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Oh, he really was. Anthony was a bright light in everyone’s life that he had the opportunity to connect with — especially his friends. He was caring, giving, and often, if not always, put others’ needs before his own.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. And Samara, I understand that Anthony did have a large friend group, but that he worked hard to mask his autism?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. I mean, he really — I would say — studied and became an expert in social behavior, so much so that he presented in a way that made it seem like everything was great and going really well. He was almost disguising his autism. Many of his friends had no idea, because he really leaned into understanding societal norms and what was expected, and presented himself that way.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. He was diagnosed at seven — is that right? And with all the interventions you were able to provide, at what point did he say he didn’t want those services any longer?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. He went to a Montessori charter school that ended at sixth grade and had a middle school program. As he was transitioning out of elementary school and into middle school, he tested out of his IEP and tested out of ABA therapy. He met all the measurements — all the checkboxes — and didn’t want to receive services or special treatment any longer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So in middle school, some of his friends knew him. But when he went on to high school, it was a fresh start — no concessions, no help.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> So then, Neil, when Anthony came to the two of you with suicidal thoughts, you did all the things parents are told to do. How did you respond?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yes. Initially, he hadn’t actually come to us. Thank God he shared with his best friend, who shared with his mom, and then his mom shared with us. That opened up the dialogue with Anthony.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And honestly, it was out of body. You hear those words, you know you’re having these conversations, but I felt like I was outside my body as it was happening. We did whatever we were told. We called 988. People came out. We met with counselors and followed where we were being led.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And essentially, it sounds like the counselors determined that since Anthony didn’t have a plan, he wasn’t at immediate risk?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. In retrospect, we noticed a seasonal pattern — spring, a time of change, was very difficult for him. The first time was freshman year, when he went to his friend’s mom. Sophomore year, he came to us directly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the county crisis intervention teams evaluated him, they said he didn’t have a plan. They recommended therapy and self-care — which he was already very good at. That wasn’t especially helpful.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also had a therapist evaluation, and again, he didn’t articulate a plan. At that point, Anthony was convinced he needed help and hoped to get it in some sort of facility. We fought tooth and nail to get him into one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, it didn’t serve him well. They didn’t have a normal bed for him, so they placed him in solitary confinement. It ended up imploding the other way — taking away hope. When he came out, he was so relieved just to have fresh air. He said he’d never go to a place like that again. It really didn’t help him.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We’re talking with Neil and Samara Tricarico, founders of the Endurant Movement and parents of Anthony Tricarico, who died in 2024. Neil, how did you learn that the recommendations you were receiving — the treatments, the inpatient experience — were so different from what experts were learning about autistic kids struggling with suicide?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What was confusing is that when we spoke with autism experts who had helped us through Anthony’s childhood, they didn’t have experience with mental health or suicidality. Then on the mental health side, when we shared that Anthony was autistic, we were told there were no special protocols.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So autism didn’t address suicide, and mental health didn’t address autism. It wasn’t until a few weeks after Anthony passed that an acquaintance reached out on Facebook and asked to speak with me. She shared statistics showing that kids ages 12 to 18 on the spectrum are nearly 30% more likely to die by suicide. My wife and I nearly fell out of our seats.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That started this journey — including learning from a psychiatrist, Dr. Gupta, in Pittsburgh — about approaches that were actually helping.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What are you hoping to achieve through the Endurant Movement?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When we learned those statistics and about the work being done in the U.K. and by Dr. Gupta, it became a moral obligation to help families facing what we faced. To make them aware that there are approaches helping teens and families through this — and that lives are being saved.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And I’d add that while it’s a scary conversation and the statistics are frightening, as a parent of an autistic child, I would have wanted to know.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Throughout the diagnostic process and services, we were prepared for challenges like bullying or difficulty making friends. In Anthony’s case, we were fortunate those didn’t happen.

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Welcome to Forum. I’m Mina Kim. We take a closer look this hour at efforts to help address the high rate of suicide among autistic kids and teens. And if anyone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, resources include calling 988 or texting the word HOME to 741741.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was only after their son, Anthony, died by suicide in May of 2024 that his parents, Neil and Samara Tricarico, learned about the specific risks facing autistic kids — and how the warning signs can look different from those in non-autistic teens, in ways even attentive parents can miss.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the Tricaricos are determined to help others understand that missing piece through a nonprofit they founded called the Endurant Movement. Neil and Samara join me now. Thank you both for joining us. I really appreciate it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Thank you, Mina. Thank you for having us.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And welcome to you as well, Samara. Thank you. I’d love to start by hearing more about Anthony. He sounded so oriented toward helping others.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricario:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Oh, he really was. Anthony was a bright light in everyone’s life that he had the opportunity to connect with — especially his friends. He was caring, giving, and often, if not always, put others’ needs before his own.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. And Samara, I understand that Anthony did have a large friend group, but that he worked hard to mask his autism?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. I mean, he really — I would say — studied and became an expert in social behavior, so much so that he presented in a way that made it seem like everything was great and going really well. He was almost disguising his autism. Many of his friends had no idea, because he really leaned into understanding societal norms and what was expected, and presented himself that way.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. He was diagnosed at seven — is that right? And with all the interventions you were able to provide, at what point did he say he didn’t want those services any longer?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. He went to a Montessori charter school that ended at sixth grade and had a middle school program. As he was transitioning out of elementary school and into middle school, he tested out of his IEP and tested out of ABA therapy. He met all the measurements — all the checkboxes — and didn’t want to receive services or special treatment any longer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So in middle school, some of his friends knew him. But when he went on to high school, it was a fresh start — no concessions, no help.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> So then, Neil, when Anthony came to the two of you with suicidal thoughts, you did all the things parents are told to do. How did you respond?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yes. Initially, he hadn’t actually come to us. Thank God he shared with his best friend, who shared with his mom, and then his mom shared with us. That opened up the dialogue with Anthony.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And honestly, it was out of body. You hear those words, you know you’re having these conversations, but I felt like I was outside my body as it was happening. We did whatever we were told. We called 988. People came out. We met with counselors and followed where we were being led.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And essentially, it sounds like the counselors determined that since Anthony didn’t have a plan, he wasn’t at immediate risk?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. In retrospect, we noticed a seasonal pattern — spring, a time of change, was very difficult for him. The first time was freshman year, when he went to his friend’s mom. Sophomore year, he came to us directly.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the county crisis intervention teams evaluated him, they said he didn’t have a plan. They recommended therapy and self-care — which he was already very good at. That wasn’t especially helpful.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We also had a therapist evaluation, and again, he didn’t articulate a plan. At that point, Anthony was convinced he needed help and hoped to get it in some sort of facility. We fought tooth and nail to get him into one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, it didn’t serve him well. They didn’t have a normal bed for him, so they placed him in solitary confinement. It ended up imploding the other way — taking away hope. When he came out, he was so relieved just to have fresh air. He said he’d never go to a place like that again. It really didn’t help him.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We’re talking with Neil and Samara Tricarico, founders of the Endurant Movement and parents of Anthony Tricarico, who died in 2024. Neil, how did you learn that the recommendations you were receiving — the treatments, the inpatient experience — were so different from what experts were learning about autistic kids struggling with suicide?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What was confusing is that when we spoke with autism experts who had helped us through Anthony’s childhood, they didn’t have experience with mental health or suicidality. Then on the mental health side, when we shared that Anthony was autistic, we were told there were no special protocols.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So autism didn’t address suicide, and mental health didn’t address autism. It wasn’t until a few weeks after Anthony passed that an acquaintance reached out on Facebook and asked to speak with me. She shared statistics showing that kids ages 12 to 18 on the spectrum are nearly 30% more likely to die by suicide. My wife and I nearly fell out of our seats.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That started this journey — including learning from a psychiatrist, Dr. Gupta, in Pittsburgh — about approaches that were actually helping.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> What are you hoping to achieve through the Endurant Movement?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When we learned those statistics and about the work being done in the U.K. and by Dr. Gupta, it became a moral obligation to help families facing what we faced. To make them aware that there are approaches helping teens and families through this — and that lives are being saved.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And I’d add that while it’s a scary conversation and the statistics are frightening, as a parent of an autistic child, I would have wanted to know.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Throughout the diagnostic process and services, we were prepared for challenges like bullying or difficulty making friends. In Anthony’s case, we were fortunate those didn’t happen. But never once was suicide discussed as a risk.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And Samara, it sounds like you’re also saying it’s okay — even important — to talk directly about suicide?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Samara Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Absolutely. Anthony wanted and craved authentic conversation. It scared me deeply, but it was important. Having the strength to educate yourself and speak directly — it could save your child’s life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Mina Kim:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We’re coming up on a break, but Neil, is there anything else you’d want to tell parents of autistic kids who may be expressing suicidal thoughts?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Neil Tricarico:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Keep your eyes, heart, and ears open.

I’m Alexis Madrigal. There’s nothing quite like a little earthquake very close to your house to remind you to check your emergency supplies. My family lives about a mile from the Hayward Fault, so we pretty regularly get little 3.0-ish quakes — just strong enough to make you think, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is this the big one?\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But then over fast enough to not be too stressful.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, what’s happening out in San Ramon right now is something different. On a recent day, they had 19 quakes of magnitude 2.0 or higher. Here to discuss what’s going on out there and to take all your earthquake questions, we’re joined by Richard Allen, director of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory and a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley. Welcome.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks. Great to be here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And we’ve got Annemarie Baltay, who’s a research geophysicist with the Earthquake Science Center at the U.S. Geological Survey. Thanks for joining us.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks so much for having me.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Richard, are we having more earthquakes than normal? How do you think about this?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Well, yeah — I get asked this question all the time whenever we start to have some shocks. And the answer is that we’re not really having anything particularly unusual. It’s true that we’ve had several earthquakes along the Hayward Fault over the last few months, and then, of course, we have this swarm that’s going on right now.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the swarm is actually not that unusual. We’ve had more than ten of these swarms over the last few decades. They flare up from time to time — they last days to weeks, and then they typically fade away. What we’ve not seen is this swarm ending in a large-magnitude earthquake. But, of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t have one this time. In the Bay Area, as we all know, we always have to be ready for large-magnitude earthquakes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But let’s say you lived in San Ramon. Would an earthquake swarm be an interesting phenomenon, or would it be something where you’re like, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, no big deal — it’s just another earthquake, and another earthquake, and another earthquake\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I know it’s pretty traumatizing for people who live there. When you’re getting woken up on a regular basis over many days, even these small-magnitude earthquakes give you a very sudden, sharp thud, which can wake people up. That’s pretty traumatizing — there’s no getting away from that, unfortunately.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But at the same time, we know we’ve seen this before. So we need to keep in mind that it’s not too serious an issue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yeah. Annemarie, what is an earthquake swarm or cluster?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yeah, that’s a great question. In some sense, it’s just a matter of words. Traditionally, we talk about a mainshock-aftershock sequence, where the first earthquake is the largest, and then we know from observations and statistics that earthquakes tend to decrease in magnitude and frequency over time.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A swarm is just a series of earthquakes that doesn’t follow that pattern. In the case of San Ramon, what we’ve traditionally seen — like Richard said — over many decades is that the first earthquakes may not be the largest, but they’re all of similar size.

I’m Alexis Madrigal. There’s nothing quite like a little earthquake very close to your house to remind you to check your emergency supplies. My family lives about a mile from the Hayward Fault, so we pretty regularly get little 3.0-ish quakes — just strong enough to make you think, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is this the big one?\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But then over fast enough to not be too stressful.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, what’s happening out in San Ramon right now is something different. On a recent day, they had 19 quakes of magnitude 2.0 or higher. Here to discuss what’s going on out there and to take all your earthquake questions, we’re joined by Richard Allen, director of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory and a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley. Welcome.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks.

Thanks for joining us.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thanks so much for having me.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Richard, are we having more earthquakes than normal? How do you think about this?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Well, yeah — I get asked this question all the time whenever we start to have some shocks. And the answer is that we’re not really having anything particularly unusual. It’s true that we’ve had several earthquakes along the Hayward Fault over the last few months, and then, of course, we have this swarm that’s going on right now.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the swarm is actually not that unusual. We’ve had more than ten of these swarms over the last few decades. They flare up from time to time — they last days to weeks, and then they typically fade away. What we’ve not seen is this swarm ending in a large-magnitude earthquake. But, of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t have one this time. In the Bay Area, as we all know, we always have to be ready for large-magnitude earthquakes.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But let’s say you lived in San Ramon. Would an earthquake swarm be an interesting phenomenon, or would it be something where you’re like, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh, no big deal — it’s just another earthquake, and another earthquake, and another earthquake\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I know it’s pretty traumatizing for people who live there. When you’re getting woken up on a regular basis over many days, even these small-magnitude earthquakes give you a very sudden, sharp thud, which can wake people up. That’s pretty traumatizing — there’s no getting away from that, unfortunately.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But at the same time, we know we’ve seen this before. So we need to keep in mind that it’s not too serious an issue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yeah. Annemarie, what is an earthquake swarm or cluster?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yeah, that’s a great question. In some sense, it’s just a matter of words. Traditionally, we talk about a mainshock-aftershock sequence, where the first earthquake is the largest, and then we know from observations and statistics that earthquakes tend to decrease in magnitude and frequency over time.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A swarm is just a series of earthquakes that doesn’t follow that pattern. In the case of San Ramon, what we’ve traditionally seen — like Richard said — over many decades is that the first earthquakes may not be the largest, but they’re all of similar size. We saw quite a few magnitude-3.5-ish earthquakes in this swarm, and that’s typical.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it may be a slightly different physical mechanism, where earthquakes are popping off little by little, one after the other, rather than being one big release of stress like we see in a mainshock-aftershock sequence.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So interesting.

We understand the long-term system, but on a human time scale, we can’t say exactly when or where they’ll happen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If I can add to that — while the statistics leave us with uncertainty, we’re excited about new opportunities to learn more. The Hayward and Calaveras faults radiate a lot of information: creep, repeating micro-earthquakes, and other signals. Some faults are completely locked and silent. These aren’t.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while uncertainties remain, we’re hopeful we can learn more about where we are in the earthquake cycle and say more in the future.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And if the Hayward does go, it’ll be one of the most instrumented faults on Earth.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Richard Allen:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Exactly. That’s why instrumentation matters — collecting data before, during, and after the earthquake.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Annemarie, these little quakes don’t relieve pressure for a big one, right?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That’s right. There just aren’t enough of them, and they don’t release enough stress.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Because the scale is exponential.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Annemarie Baltay: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exactly. A magnitude-3 releases about 32 times more energy than a magnitude-2 — but there aren’t nearly enough 2s to add up.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alexis Madrigal:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Got it. We’re talking about the recent earthquake cluster in San Ramon and taking your earthquake questions.
