|
Strong Motion
Data & Internet Quick Reports |
 The
California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program
(CSMIP) records the strong shaking of the ground and
structures during California earthquakes. |
 Strong-motion
data for engineering applications after major
earthquakes are distributed via the Internet Quick
Report (IQR) at the CISN Engineering Strong Motion
Data Center. |

ShakeMaps
|
|
Recent
California Earthquakes |
 A
ShakeMap is a representation of ground shaking
produced by an earthquake. ShakeMaps of California
are currently generated by USGS (Northern and
Southern California) and CGS. |

Probabilistic
Earthquake Maps
|
|
California Integrated Seismic Network |
 A probabilistic seismic hazard map
shows the hazard from potential earthquakes. Such
maps are typically expressed in terms of the probability of exceeding a
certain ground motion. |
 The
California Integrated Seismic Network (CISN) is a
partnership of federal, state, and university
agencies monitoring earthquakes in California. |

Seismic Hazards Zonation Program
|
|
Alquist-Priolo Fault Zones |
 The
Seismic Hazards Zonation Program maps landslide zones that
require site-specific hazard studies in
order to obtain a building permit. |
 Faults
that represent a hazard of surface rupture are
mapped in Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones.
