Loss-Estimation Modeling of Earthquake Scenarios for Each County in Nevada Using HAZUS-MH by Ronald Hess and Craig dePolo.
In preparing this report, the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology used the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s loss-estimation model, HAZUS-MH, to estimate what the effects would be of potential earthquakes near each of the county seats in Nevada (similar to ones we know have occurred in the geologic past). The report also includes some of the latest information from the U.S. Geological Survey regarding their best estimates of the probability of various earthquakes occurring within the next fifty years near each of the county seats.
