1. Omori Law Parameters
2. Conceptual Model

This shows stressed patches (bright) "relaxing" into aftershocks. The most unstable patches break first, leading to a decay in activity.

3. Public Perception

The long tail of the Omori decay means aftershocks can continue for years, long after public perception (dotted line) assumes the danger has passed.
