Summary

This data set represents the results of calculations of hazard curves for a grid of points with a spacing of 0.05 degrees in latitude and longitude. It represents the average Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) with a 1-percent probability of exceedance in 1 year. Using a topographic-based soil classification method, the ground motions are amplified for soil type. The MMI values are the average of the MMI values obtained by converting peak ground acceleration to MMI and 1.0-second spectral response acceleration to MMI. The data are for the Central and Eastern United States and are based on the one-year model.

Purpose

This map is intended to provide a more robust estimate of Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) with a 1-percent probability of exceedance in 1 year, by averaging the MMI values obtained from peak ground acceleration hazard curves and hazard curves for 1.0-second spectral response acceleration.
