The San Diego Seismic Safety Study

The San Diego Seismic Safety Study is a series of maps that indicate the likely geologic hazards throughout the city. These maps may be used to evaluate the relative risk within a region or to determine if a geotechnical report is required for development or building permits.

These maps do not furnish site specific information and should be used only as a guide when evaluating risk. They are intended to be an indicator of what to expect at your site and provide general geologic hazard information.

To learn more about these maps and when geotechnical reports are required, view the Seismic Safety Study below.
