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.

This hazard map is a simplified 2% in 50-year probability of exceedance map for fixed VS30 760 m/s.

Annual number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or larger in the central and eastern United States, 1973–2024. The long-term rate of approximately 25 earthquakes per year increased sharply starting around 2009.

From the 2003 NSHM by Mueller et al., 2010, the distribution of spectral acceleration (SA in %g) is shown for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
