National Seismic Hazard Model and Seismic Design Maps

Summary

The National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) and Seismic Design Maps are a suite of products primarily aimed at improving earthquake-resilient construction in the United States by providing information about potential ground shaking caused by earthquakes. The NSHM is updated every six years to provide the basis for the Seismic Design Maps used in building codes.
