Hazard Maps
These maps of earthquake
shaking hazards provide information essential to creating the seismic design
provisions of building codes used in the United States. Scientists frequently
revise these maps to reflect new knowledge about earthquakes and the associated
shaking. Hazard maps also provide useful guides for emergency response,
urban planning, and hazard mitigation.
