This map from the updated National Seismic Hazard ... Accounting for the amplification elevated the ground shaking hazard for such structures in some major cities, like Seattle, Los Angeles ...

"Hazard maps for California as well as Japan ... including the extent that ground shaking depends on local geology, but none of these were big enough to explain the problem," Gallahue said.

but a color-coded map that was generated with the model gives a clear look at the earthquake hazard across the country, showing the potential of damaging shaking occurring in 100 years.

Therefore, tough choices are required and decisions about how to allocate resources are often based on earthquake hazard maps to predict ... that measures ground shaking caused by earthquakes ...

Combining multiple hazards in this way shows that ground shaking might be a “non-negligible ... theory may facilitate development of maps of displacements from different types of ground failure.

The U.S. Geological Survey's new seismic hazard maps ... The new maps also contain some good news for Washington residents. Scientists now estimate that potential ground motion in the western ...

The “ground shaking hazard maps” were generated by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said Nancy Bantog, Cordillera director of the Department of Science and Te ...

Scientists are creating the first data set that will systematically map local earthquake hazards across Metro ... How much will the ground change that shaking?” she said.
