2017 Short-term Induced Seismicity Model
USGS has produced a one-year 2017 seismic hazard forecast for the central and eastern United States from induced and natural earthquakes that updates the 2016 one-year forecast.
Request for Hazard Modeling Contributions
The USGS requests that the earthquake hazard community bring to our attention new earthquake source and ground motion data or models that could be included in the NSHM updates. In addition, workshops are held for feedback and comments. The National Seismic Hazard Model will be updated twice over the next 6 years since the 2014 update. View NSHM Schedule 2016-2021.
