A research team studied earthquake hazard maps from five countries and found that all the maps seemed to overpredict the historically observed earthquake shaking intensities. In analyzing the ...
This was one of several key findings from the latest USGS National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM). The model was used to create a color-coded map that pinpoints where damaging earthquakes are most ...

The risk assessments were derived in part from a US Geological Survey study that created earthquake models to help inform municipalities and insurance companies about such hazards.
Some 230 million people in the United States face the potential of damaging earthquakes in 100 years, according to the latest U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model, or NSHM. That’s about 40 million ...

The latest version of the U.S. Geological Survey’s earthquake hazard model, issued last week, shows “a chance for greater shaking” from earthquakes in California than previous iterations ...
a new United States Geological Survey map shows. The new USGS National Seismic Hazard Model released Tuesday -- nearly 30 years to the day of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles -- shows ...
“Hazard maps for California as well as Japan, Italy, Nepal and France all seemed to overpredict the historically observed earthquake shaking intensities. The hazard maps were made by groups in ...
