NATIONAL SEISMIC HAZARD MODEL
The National Seismic Hazard Model stands as a testament to scientific innovation in the service of public safety. This congressionally requested update provides an essential tool to many stakeholders by showing where large earthquakes are most likely to occur, allowing for better mitigation and preparedness in those areas.
