Figure 1. This isoseismal map shows the contour (heavy yellow outline) for equally felt shaking intensity of MMI VII — the level of shaking expected to result in negligible damage in well-designed and constructed buildings and slight to moderate damage in well-built ordinary structures, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
