Earthquake hazard map (2018) from USGS showing peak ground accelerations having a 2 percent probability of being exceeded in 50 years. The models are based on seismicity and fault-slip rates. Locally, the hazard may be greater than indicated here, because geology may amplify ground motion. Credit: USGS
