Abstract:
This Relative Earthquake Hazard Map of the Klamath Falls Metropolitan Area depicts the relative seismic hazard potential that results from local geologic conditions. For hazard assessment on a neighborhood-to-neighborhood scale, local geologic conditions contribute as much as, or more than, any other factor to the hazard portion of that assessment. The hazard contribution of three different earthquake-related hazards is shown in relative terms on a single composite map. This allows a nongeologic and nonengineering audience to work more effectively toward reducing the risk to life and property through planning, policy, and mitigation measures. The composite hazard map was produced by combining individual hazard maps for ground motion amplification, liquefaction, and slope instability. The single component maps were developed to show geographic patterns of stronger earthquake effects for the most likely earthquake source. Zones that are expected to have the most pronounced damage in any moderate or larger earthquake are shown on the map as having the greatest hazard.
Purpose:
To provide planners, lenders, insurers, and emergency responders composite hazard maps for first-order hazard mitigation and response planning.
Supplemental_Information:
This map depicts earthquake hazard zones that are based on limited geologic and geophysical data, as described in the text. The map is not a substitute for site-specific investigations by qualified practitioners. At any point in the map area, site-specific data may give results that differ from those shown on the map.
