Hazus Estimated Annualized Earthquake Losses for the United States: FEMA P-366, 2023
The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Pub.L. 115–307) requires that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “shall support the implementation of a comprehensive earthquake education, outreach, and public awareness program, including development of materials and their wide dissemination to all appropriate audiences and support public access to locality-specific information that may assist the public in preparing for, mitigating against, responding to and recovering from earthquakes and related disasters.” As one effort to satisfy the mission, this joint FEMA-U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report provides nationwide and state-by-state estimates of annualized earthquake losses (AEL) based on the latest census and building stock data, as well as USGS earthquake hazard information.
