Useful Maps and Other Resources

Hazard Maps

  • State of California Geological Survey Map - View hazards including faults, liquefaction zones, and landslide zones.  Note:  This map may not show all faults that have the potential for surface fault rupture, either within the Earthquake Fault Zones or outside their boundaries. Additionally, this map may not show all areas that have the potential for liquefaction, landsliding, strong earthquake ground shaking or other earthquake and geologic hazards. Also, a single earthquake capable of causing liquefaction or triggering landside failure will not uniformly affect the entire area zoned.
  • Cal OES “MyHazards” Map - Discover hazards in your area (earthquake, flood, fire, and tsunami) and learn steps to reduce personal risk. Using the MyHazards tool, users may enter an address, city, zip code, or may select a location from a map. 
  • Earthquake Shaking Potential for California - Maps of the shaking intensity after the next major earthquake will be available within minutes on the internet. The maps will guide emergency crews to the most damaged regions and will help the public identify the areas most seriously affected.
  • Wildfire Risk for Buildings - This map covers an extensive area of the United States from Canada to Mexico. It assesses the risk of fire based on location and displays where active fires hotspots are.
