They're not.
Earthquakes are usually located in between two tectonic plates.
Yes, Cuba does experience earthquakes. The country is located near the boundary of the North American and Caribbean tectonic plates, making it prone to seismic activity. While most earthquakes in Cuba are minor, there have been historical records of damaging quakes.
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
California is known for earthquakes in the United States. Earthquakes are usually found around tectonic plate boundaries. For example the Pacific Ring of Fire.

A hazard map is typically created for natural hazards, such as flooding, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. That hazard map only highlights the earthquake zones.
The majority of earthquakes occur on or near fault lines - the boundaries between tectonic plates. To actually see where earthquakes occur, try finding a historical seismicity map.
