3  Maps prepared by United States Geological Survey (USGS) in collaboration with the Federal Emergency
4  Management Agency (FEMA)-funded Building Seismic Safety Council (BSSC) and the American
5  Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The basis is explained in commentaries prepared by BSSC and ASCE
6  and in the references.Ground motion values contoured on these maps incorporate:

7   a target risk of structural collapse equal to 1% in 50 years based upon a generic structural
8  fragility

27
1   a factor of 1.1 to adjust from a geometric mean to the maximum response regardless of
2  direction
3   deterministic upper limits imposed near large, active faults, which are taken as 1.8 times the
4  estimated median response to the characteristic earthquake for the governing fault (1.8 is
5  used to represent the 84th percentile response), but not less than 150% g.
6  As such, the values are different from those on the uniform- hazard 2014 USGS National Seismic Hazard
