Gov. Mary Fallin dips into emergency fund for earthquake research
OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Mary Fallin on Thursday said she is tapping the state’s emergency fund in the wake of a rising number of earthquakes.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday at the Capitol, Fallin said she will use nearly $1.4 million from the fund.
“I’m committed to funding seismic research, bringing on line advanced technology and more staff to fully support our regulators as they take meaningful action on earthquakes,” Fallin said.
