Summary

This Data Release contains preliminary versions of three related geologic input databases for the Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands (PRVI) region (62°–70° W and 16°–21° N) of the United States: 1) A fault sections database (“NSHM2025_FaultSections_PRVI_v1’”), which depicts the geometry of faults capable of hosting independent earthquakes, 2) a fault-zone polygon database ("NSHM2025_FaultPolygons_ PRVI_v1"), which depicts the geometry of distributed fault zones capable of hosting repeated large magnitude events but a specific fault source remains unidentified, and 3) An earthquake geology site information database (“NSHM2025_EQGeoDB_ PRVI_v1”), which contains fault slip-rate and earthquake recurrence constraints and categorical slip [...]
