Summary

A uniform seismicity catalog is necessary to assess the location and rate of future earthquakes. This catalog is declustered by removing foreshocks and aftershocks so that only independent events are considered, as required in the probabilistic probabilistic methodolgy used to assess seismic hazard. The uniform and declustered catalogs are included here.
