Regionwide Earthquake Secondary Hazard Maps for Dam-Failure
Inundation Areas, and Liquefaction Susceptibility. These two maps
cover the entire nine-county region. The maps are blue-line single-color
ozalid prints, rather than color printed maps. The map scale is
1:250,000; each map covers the region and is approximately 42"
x 48". Please allow 4 working days for the prints to be ordered
from the blue-line printing company.
Shaken Awake! Estimates of Uninhabitable Dwelling Units and
Peak Shelter Populations in Future Earthquakes Affecting the San
Francisco Bay Region , April 1996, 144 pages. Estimates the number
of housing units likely to be uninhabitable, displaced populations,
and people requiring public shelter following 11 likely future
earthquakes. The scenarios are identical to those in On Shaky
Ground. Research was conducted by ABAG and George Washington
University.
