Title: Relative Earthquake Hazard Map of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area, Lane County, Oregon
Series_Information:
Series_Name: Interpretive Map Series
Issue_Identification: IMS-14
Description:
Abstract:
This Relative Earthquake Hazard Map of the
Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area depicts the relative
risk of earthquake damage that results from local geologic
conditions. On a neighborhood-to-neighborhood scale,
local geologic conditions contribute as much as, or more
than, any other factor to the hazard portion of a risk
assessment. Showing in relative terms on a single map the
hazard contribution of different earthquake-related hazards
allows a nongeologic and nonengineering audience to
work more effectively toward reducing the risk to life and
property through planning, policy, and mitigation measures.
The composite hazard map was developed by combining
single hazard maps for ground motion amplification and
slope instability. The single component maps were
developed to show geographic patterns of stronger
earthquake effects for two likely earthquake sources.
Zones that are expected to have the most pronounced
damage in any moderate or larger earthquake are shown
on the map as having the greatest hazard.
Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to produce a relative
earthquake hazard map for the Eugene-Springfield
Metropolitan area and to produce single hazard maps for
ground shaking amplification and slope stability within the
same area.

The map depicts earthquake hazard zones that are based
on limited geologic and geophysical data, as described in
the text. The map is not a substitute for site-specific
investigations by qualified practitioners. At any point in the
map area, site-specific data may give results that differ from
those shown on the map. Some appropriate uses for the
map are discussed in the text. For a complete
understanding of the earthquake hazard, consultation of
