Summary

These data sets are the results of calculations of hazard curves for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.05 degrees in latitude and longitude. They represent the chance of experiencing potentially damaging ground shaking for fixed ground shaking levels that corresponds with MMI = VII. The values are obtained by averaging the probability of experiencing MMI = VII based on a peak ground acceleration value of 0.2152 g for site class D, and the probability of experiencing MMI = VII based on 1.0-second spectral acceleration value of 0.2256 g for site class D. The data are for the Central and Eastern United States.

Purpose

This map is intended to provide a more robust estimate for the chance of experiencing potentially moderate-damage ground shaking from an earthquake by averaging the probabilities obtained from peak ground acceleration hazard curves and hazard curves for 1.0-second spectral response acceleration.
