The earthquake hazard can effect out society by health, safety, and economic viability, in the United Sates and throughout the world. Recent earthquakes demonstrated the risks to modern industrial societies from such cataclysmic events, affecting everything from massive loss of life, infrastructure damage, and financial instability. Much larger earthquakes can be expected to occur adjacent to many metropolitan regions in the United States.

2. The Kobe, Japan earthquake was another modest 6.9 magnitude event that same year which caused 5,480 deaths, over 150 billion dollars of damage and a major disruption of Japan's economy with global impacts.
