USGS warns 75% of the U.S. faces damaging earthquakes in the next century.
Team of 50 scientists used seismic studies and tech to identify 500 new fault lines.
Last 200 years, 37 states saw quakes > magnitude 5, indicating historical seismic activity.
USGS doesn't predict quakes but assesses future likelihood and intensity.
High risk in California, Alaska, Hawaii (volcanic activity), and northeastern Atlantic Coastal corridor.
California sees 10,000/year, mostly under magnitude 4.0.
USGS sees the model as a major achievement for public safety.
Valuable for
architects
, engineers, and policymakers.
Policymakers
can use data for public safety measures, as seen in California's grants.
