National Seismic Hazard Model
Earthquakes cause an estimated annualized loss to the U.S. of several billions of dollars. To mitigate earthquake losses, it is necessary to evaluate the earthquake hazards across the country.
Introduction to the National Seismic Hazard Maps
A primary responsibility of the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) Project is to model the ground shaking hazard from potentially damaging earthquakes for the United States and its territories. The model results can be summarized with different map views and here, we describe the maps and important features (what they show and what they don't show).
