1. 29 deaths, destroyed infrastructure, and made permanent changes in Yellowstone geysers. $15M in damage (‘59 $) and $100M+ (2006 $)! Rupture of the 1959 M 7.5 Hebgen Lake Earthquake The largest historic earthquake of the Intermountain west and frequently used as the maximum credible event for hazard analysis. Reminder of Yellowstone region seismicity

2. Hebgen Lake fault M 7.5, 1959 M 6.2, 1975 1985 swarm Yellowstone: An Active Seismo-Volcanic System Hypocenter locations using 3D velocity model. The 0.64 My caldera boundary is in orange. Color patterns are hydrothermal features. Deformation measured by geodetic methods. Magnitudes converted to seismic moment. 1000 to 4000 events per year.

3. Combined Earthquake and Volcano Risk of Yellowstone-Grand Teton Region With over 6 million visitors per year, total in both parks plus surrounding communities, the exposure is similar to that of an urban center. Given that these areas are in a remote location with confined transportation corridors, limited large-scale emergency response, etc. as well as a generally unprepared visitor-population to such hazards, this condition sets this area apart in an urban risk category. This is an important theme for the USGS NEHRP and Volcano Hazards Programs.
