CGS recently released Map Sheet 48, a statewide shaking-intensity map based on USGS's 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model. Here's what it shows. #earthquake 1/3
Map of California titled 'Earthquake Shaking Potential,' published by the California Geological Survey. The state is shaded using the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, ranging from pale yellow (VI, Strong Shaking) through orange and red to dark maroon (XI, Devastating Shaking), showing the level of ground shaking expected from future earthquakes.
The darkest red and maroon areas run along the coastal mountain ranges and major fault zones, most intensely through the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside corridor and across the San Francisco Bay Area. The Central Valley, including the Sacramento area, along with parts of the northern Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe, appear in lighter yellow and pale orange tones, indicating comparatively lower but still present shaking potential. A legend on the right explains the six intensity levels shown, and the map includes a Drop, Cover, and Hold On safety graphic in the lower left.
