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.
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.

Abstract. We present updated seismic hazard maps for the United Kingdom (UK) intended for use with the National Annex for the revised edition of Eurocode 8. The last national maps for the UK were produced by Musson and Sargeant (Eurocode 8 seismic hazard zoning maps for the UK.
• The NSHM forecasts shaking hazard it does not forecast impact (risk). • Increases in hazard do not necessarily correspond to equivalent increase in impact. The Hikurangi-Kermadec Subduction Zone represents a significant source of hazard for New Zealand and can affect much of the country.
