The significant rise in seismicity rates in Oklahoma and Kansas (OK–KS) in the last decade has led to an increased interest in studying induced earthquakes. Although additional instruments have been deployed in the region, there are still relatively few recordings at the distances (<20 km) and magnitudes (M4+) most relevant to earthquake hazard. In contrast, the USGS Did You Feel It? (DYFI) system has collected more than 200,000 observations during this period with 22,000+ observations at distances less than 20 km. This dataset has already been used to study the unique characteristics of induced earthquakes, to evaluate the extent of felt area, shaking, and damage, to compare intensity and ground motion metrics,...

Time-averaged shear wave velocity over the upper 30 meters of the earth's surface (Vs30) is a key parameter for estimating ground motion amplification as both a predictive and diagnostic tool for earthquake hazards. A first-order approximation of Vs30 is commonly obtained via a topographic slope-based or terrain proxy due to the widely available nature of digital elevation models. However, better-constrained Vs30 maps have been developed in many regions. Such maps preferentially employ various combinations of Vs30 measurements, higher-resolution slope, lithologic, geologic, geomorphic, and other proxies, and often utilize refined interpolation schemes. We develop a new hybrid global Vs30 map database that defaults...

For designing buildings and other structures, the 2020 NEHRP Recommended Seismic Provisions and the 2022 ASCE/SEI 7 Standard provide Risk-Targeted Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCER) spectral response accelerations and Maximum Considered Earthquake Geometric Mean (MCEG) peak ground accelerations. The MCER ground motions are also expected to be in the 2023 ASCE/SEI 41 Standard and the 2024 and 2027 editions of the International Building Code. Both sets of ground motions are derived from USGS National Seismic Hazard Models via the gridded values of this data release. The files in the "Child Items" below also underlie corresponding USGS Seismic Design Web Services. See the "Related External Resources" below for...
