⊕Earthquake

0.5/10LOW

Seismic source zone activity (Gutenberg-Richter, Eastern US zone aggregate M5+ rate)0.0 / 3.5

The Eastern US source zone's shipped Gutenberg-Richter rate produces about 0.0003 independent M5+ earthquakes a year against 8 observed in the 1980–2024 catalogue (0.178 a year), so this component reads far too low across the twelve states in the zone — including the Charleston seismic zone. Treat a low earthquake hazard score here as unmeasured, not as a finding of low hazard.

Proximity to mapped Quaternary faults0.3 / 3.0

Historical damage potential (Hazus W1 thresholds)2.9 / 3.5

Model v2.5 · Hazard score

Not scored here: Wildfire — each holds under 0.5% of the national record for that peril and is not on the kept list.
