 Entry ID: USGS_HAZSOFT

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Calculation Software was used to construct the 1996 National Seismic Hazard Maps. The USGS provides seismic hazard assessments for the U.S. and areas around the world. These hazard maps serve as the basis for seismic provisions used in building codes and influence billions of dollars of new construction every year.
