HAZUS-MH APPLICATION: EARTQUAKE

Gound Shaking from Magnitude 7.1 
Earthquake on Newport-Inglewood Fault


POTENTIAL USES
 Pre-Disaster:  

*   Identification of population, general building stock and lifelines that would be most at risk from magnitude 7.1 earthquake on 
Newport-Inglewood Fault.

*   Identification of counties and population centers that would be subjected to PGA > 0.4 (area of greatest expected damage).
Post-Disaster: 

*   Area of impact from the scenario earthquake.

*   Rapid needs assessment Ð identification of population, general building stock, essential facilities and lifelines (utilities and 
transportation) with at least a moderate probability of major or severe damage and potential  loss of functionality.


DATA AND ANALYSIS DISPLAYED:
