How can property owners, investors and lenders protect themselves from increased risks? just released have implemented mandatory retrofit ordinances register for that now Human-Induced Earthquake Risks These maps How Does This Impact CRE? - Induced earthquakes occur closer to the surface than most natural earthquakes, resulting in an increased surface ground shaking damage to structures.
- Peak ground acceleration data normally used in estimating earthquake losses has not been released by the USGS.
- Building codes in the area have not been modified to reflect seismic design criteria, which may result in an increased risk of damage.
- The probability and magnitude of induced earthquakes is expected to vary depending upon the proximity to injection sites and the quantity of material injected.
- The maximum magnitude of induced earthquakes can't be determined from historical record. In a conference held in 2014, experts agreed that 7.0 would represent a reasonable estimate of maximum earthquake.
- Buildings over 8 stories
- Multi-story buildings with large openings or building areas (e.g. parking or commercial space), also known as soft-story construction
- Unreinforced masonry
- Direct contact with other buildings
- Concrete buildings, regardless of construction date (for possible non-ductile design)
