Earthquake Hazards Program
The USGS monitors and reports on earthquakes, assesses earthquake impacts and hazards, and conducts targeted research on the causes and effects of earthquakes. We undertake these activities as part of the larger National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP), a four-agency partnership established by Congress.

Site response models based on geometric parameters for southern California sedimentary basins Site response models based on geometric parameters for southern California sedimentary basins
Site response in sedimentary basins is influenced by complex three-dimensional (3D) features, including trapping of seismic waves, focusing of seismic energy and basin resonance. Current ground motion models (GMMs) incorporate basin effects using one-dimensional parameters like VS30 and shear wave velocity isosurface depths, which are limited in capturing lateral and 3D effects.

Earthquake catalog for the Fairbanks region of central Alaska, 2014–2024, based on waveform cross-correlation Earthquake catalog for the Fairbanks region of central Alaska, 2014–2024, based on waveform cross-correlation
The Fairbanks region of central Alaska is part of a broad zone of intraplate crustal deformation, situated north of the Denali fault and north of the ongoing collision and flat‐slab subduction of the Yakutat oceanic plateau. Seismicity in the Fairbanks region occurs both in diffuse areas as well as in well‐defined lineaments, such as the left‐lateral Salcha fault, which hosted the 1937...

2025 PRVI NSHM Rollout & User-Needs Meeting
In conjunction with publication of the 2025 Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM), the USGS National Seismic Hazard Model Project (NSHMP) will host a one-day public meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Additional meeting information, including a link to the registration form, is provided below.
2027 NSHMs for GNMI and AmSam
The Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (GNMI) and American Samoa (AmSam) models were last updated in 2012. The two NSHMs will be developed concurrently but will be published separately.
Earthquake Sequence Product
The USGS earthquake Sequence Product aims to identify and describe earthquakes that are clustered in space and time as “sequences.” Its overarching goal is to provide simple contextual information regarding the spatial and temporal interconnection of earthquakes.
