Fortunately, our gas well coordinator has this covered. If you live in Arlington and feel the earth move, please contact Collin Gregory, Gas Well Coordinator, with the City of Arlington, Texas. Mr. Gregory will track these tremors and look for patterns. Then he will either hire an outside firm or rent equipment to determine the cause of this seismicity. Please include the date, time, and what you felt:
State Farm insurance also has you covered. In light of all the fracking earthquakes, they are urging residents to purchase earthquake insurance.

"Earthquakes in the Tarrant and Johnson counties of Texas have become more common during the past four years.
According to the earthquake database, those counties have seen roughly 30 earthquakes in the past four years, but before 2008, the area didn’t see a single earthquake."
