In an effort to help us identify where earthquakes are likely to happen, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) updated the U.S. earthquake hazard maps this past summer – the first time since 2008.
California remains at high risk with strong earthquake potential extending over a wider area than previously thought with new faults discovered in San Jose, Vallejo and San Diego. These updates have insurance companies reassessing rates and coverage.
