9 Bay Area Earthquake History 1600-2000 A.D.

10 Cumulative M 0, dyne-cm Moment Accumulation in the SF Bay Region

11 In the next 30 years there is a 63% prob- ability, nearly a 2/3rds chance, of an M6.7 or larger earthquake in the greater Bay Area. Hazard is highest in the East Bay due to the larger number of faults there, including the Hayward fault. (UCERF2 Report, 2007) 2007-2036 21% 31% 6% 3% 1% 3% 63% 7% 11%

12 M ≥ 6.7 Hazard is highest in the East Bay due to the larger number of faults including the Hayward Fault.
