If you want to minimize the risk of earthquake damage in Maine, consider living in the northern and eastern parts of the state, particularly areas like Aroostook County or northern Washington County. These regions are generally less seismically active compared to southern and western Maine. The western part of the state, particularly near the New Hampshire border, is closer to more significant seismic activity. Overall, choosing areas farther from known fault lines will reduce earthquake risk.

What are the two most recent tectonic events that affected the northeastern US?

The two most recent significant tectonic events that affected the northeastern US are the 2011 Virginia earthquake and the 2020 magnitude 3.6 earthquake in southwestern Maine. The Virginia earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.8, was felt widely across the region, causing minor damage. The Maine earthquake, while smaller, was notable for its location in a seismically quiet area and was felt in parts of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. These events highlight the tectonic activity that can occur even in regions not typically known for frequent seismic events.
