SEISMIC HAZARDS ASSESSMENT

HAZARD ASSESSMENT EXPLANATION AND RECOMMENDATION

Active faults are faults that have moved within the last 10,000 years. An active
fault may show evidence or may have documented history of recent

New Carmen Fault rupture hazard is at least 5 meters on both sides of the active fault or from its
zone of deformation.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein the ground, especially near the river,

Note:
All hazard assessments are based on the available susceptibility maps and the coordinates of the user’s selected
location.
Depending on the basemaps used and methods employed during mapping, discrepancies may be observed between
location of hazards or exposure information and actual ground observations.
In some areas, hazard assessment may be updated as new data become available for interpretation or as a result of
major topographic changes due to onset of natural events.
For site-specific evaluation or construction of critical facilities, detailed engineering assessment and onsite
geotechnical engineering survey may be required.
