“The study reveals that the United States faces $15.8 billion per year in average annualized earthquake losses - an increase of about 7% since the 2023 update, largely driven by rising property values and growth in hazard prone areas. Yet the message is not all caution: modern seismic codes are working, with states like California seeing ~15% reductions in expected losses thanks to improved building practices.
This update incorporates the 2023 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model, new population and building stock data, and advancements in HAZUS 6.1, offering communities a clearer picture of where risk is rising—and where targeted mitigation, such as retrofitting older unreinforced masonry and non ductile concrete buildings, can deliver substantial benefits.
BOTTOM LINE: Earthquake risk is evolving, but smarter design, science-informed planning, and focused mitigation continue to shift the nation toward greater resilience…”
