   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).

   What is a hazard map based on?

   • The map is based on the USGS models for the conterminous U.S. (2023), Hawaii (2021), and Alaska (2023). The models are based on seismicity and fault-slip rates and take into account the frequency of earthquakes of various magnitudes. Locally, the hazard may be greater than shown, because site geology may amplify ground motions.

   What is a seismic hazard map?

   • The seismic hazard maps address this need by integrating what scientists have learned about earthquake sources, crustal deformation, active faulting, and ground shaking. This information is translated into a form that can be used to reduce the risk from earthquakes and to improve public safety.

   • It is the first iteration of the NSHM to include all 50 states and has been updated from past models published in 2018 (contiguous United States), 1998 (Hawaii), and 2007 (Alaska). “Updated hazard models serve important purposes,” said James Neely, a seismologist at the University of Chicago who was not involved in developing the model.
