Mar 9, 2022 · Earthquake hazard map showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years, for a firm rock site. The map is based on the USGS models for the conterminous U.S. (2023), Hawaii (2021), and Alaska (2023).
Mar 9, 2022 · What are the USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps? The National Seismic Hazard Maps (NSHM) (and the hazard model from which they are derived) are first and foremost a suite of products aimed at improving earthquake-resilient construction in the United States.
Dec 29, 2023 · Changes in 2023 time-independent seismic hazard (both increases and decreases compared to previous NSHMs) are substantial because the new model considers more data and updated earthquake rupture forecasts and ground-motion components.
One application of PSHA is the development of a National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) and the accompanying national seismic hazard maps that provide seismic design guidance at a national scale (e.g. Gerstenberger et al. 2020 and references therein).
the national seismic hazard maps for the UK. This is to take account of advances in seismic hazard methodology since the last seismic hazard maps were developed by Musson and Sargeant (2007) and present the results in a format that will be compatible with the future Eurocode 8 revisions.

The NSHM is the best available science, globally, considering a huge amount of data and incorporating the most up to date understanding of earthquakes there is. . More than 50 experts, both locally and from around the world, have been involved - it is world leading science. .
