The latest advancement in regional mapping of earthquake hazards

Over 30 seismic microzonation maps of Metro Vancouver available by summer 2024

The latest advancement in regional mapping of earthquake hazards is the inclusion of local seismic site effects into seismic hazard prediction, also known as seismic microzonation mapping. These site effects include increased shaking (amplification) due to soils and sedimentary basins or earthquake-triggered liquefaction and landslides. Find out the latest development and potential uses of seismic microzonation mapping in Canada including the $4.41M Metro Vancouver seismic microzonation mapping project conducted by Western University and the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR). Over 30 seismic microzonation maps of western Metro Vancouver will be available to the public by summer 2024. These are the most sophisticated seismic microzonation maps produced in Canada to date. The impact of these highly technical natural hazard maps is dependent on a thorough understanding from professionals in insurance, reinsurance, risk management, local government planning, and engineering.
