Earthquake hazards of the South Carolina Coastal Plain 1996

Abstract

This map has been designed as a tool for use by emergency managers in planning for the response to and recovery from a major earthquake disaster. It also may be useful to land use planners and regulators as a generalized guide to regional earthquake hazard mitigation actions. Using a color guide it shows: Low or no potential for earthquake hazards, Potential for liquefaction, Potential for landslide and Potential for collapse.
