This map uses the methods of HAZUS-MH MR4 (FEMA 2011 in references) to create new liquefaction suceptibility data for Oregon. HAZUS assigns susceptibility classes based on geology. For this map, the geology was primarily taken from OGDC 5 (Ma and others, 2009, in refernces) and SLIDO 2 (Burns and others, 2011 in references) with some coming from published liquefaction studies. The methods and data used to make this map are described in detail in : Madin, I.P., and Burns, W.J., 2013, Ground motion, ground deformation, tsunami inundation, coseismic subsidence, and damage potential maps for the 2012 Oregon Resilience Plan for Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes; Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries Open-File Report O-13-06. |
