Preliminary Version of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Map(Specific Area)

The Subcommittees for Long-term Evaluations and for Evaluations of Strong Ground Motion cooperated to prepare a preliminary version of a seismic hazard map for a specific area as the first step in preparations for producing seismic hazard maps that cover all of Japan, which are scheduled to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2004 (Heisei 16th). It is expected that persons concerned with disaster prevention and researchers will have extensive discussions with each other about the preparations considering the intended uses of these maps. These discussions should facilitate the preparation of seismic hazard maps for the entire country.

The seismic hazard maps are called probabilistic seismic hazard maps in this report because they are based on the probability of earthquake occurrence.
