US Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program
This site is always worth a mention and should be a regular log-in for those in the field. Always up-to-date with the latest information and research findings as well as a range of useful links to topic areas.

A site similar to the above but from the British perspective. As well as the information about UK earthquakes this site also has a large amount of educational material including landslides, groundwater, free material and, if you are so inclined, the opportunity to “twitter”.
