Ever wonder what #EarthquakeHazard looks like for the entire US? The @USGS’s National Seismic Hazard Map (NSHM) defines the potential for earthquake ground shaking for various probability levels across the country. 
The NSHM represents an assessment of the best available science in earthquake hazards and incorporates new findings on earthquake ground shaking, seismicity, slip-rates, frequencies of various magnitudes and long-period amplification over deep sedimentary basins.
Periodic revisions of these maps incorporate results of new research. The above, 2018 map is based on the most recent USGS models for the conterminous U.S. (2018), Hawaii (1998), and Alaska (2007).
