Earthquake Hazard Map

An Earthquake Hazard Map shows areas at different levels of potential risk for earthquakes, based on past activity, geology, and building codes. It indicates regions more likely to experience damaging tremors, helping residents, planners, and engineers prepare and make informed decisions. The map highlights zones of high, moderate, or low hazard, guiding safety measures, construction standards, and emergency preparedness to reduce damage and protect lives during seismic events.
