“…Aggregate system damage decreases with distance of the rupture center from the system. Moreover, based on mathematical reasoning found in [49], a region of rupture centers, identified by the intersection of intervals Rx and Ry as in Figure 13, contains rupture centers for which utility system reliability is minimum relative to the earthquake magnitude level examined.…”

FOREWORDThis report represents an ongoing U.S. Geological Survey effort to transfer accurate earth science information about earthquake hazards along the Wasatch front, Utah to researchers, public officials, design professionals, land-use planners, and emergency managers in an effort to mitigate the effects of earthquake hazards. This report is a preview of the future U.S. Geological Survey professional paper on regional earthquake hazards and risk along the Wasatch front.Currently State and local governments, private institutions, and individuals are implementing earthquake hazards reduction measures in Utah. The success of their efforts will depend, in part, on the availability of accurate earth science information. The timeliness and importance of the multidisciplinary research contained in this report and the need for its utilization has made it imperative to release the information in the form of an open-file report while the process of publishing the professional paper is being completed.The report is organized into 3 volumes. Volume I contains chapters on the tectonic framework and earthquake potential of the Wasatch front area. Volume II contains chapters on the ground shaking hazards and aspects of loss estimation, as well as, chapters on the use of hazards information for urban and regional planning and development. Volume III contains chapters on loss estimation which were unavailable at the time Volume II (Open-File 87-585) was published. Many of the chapters are in draft format and, therefore, the figures follow the text.The information contained in this report is the latest and most accurate information available on earthquake hazards along the Wasatch front and may be used and cited until such time as the Professional Paper on "Regional earthquake hazards and risk along the Wasatch front," is published. The sensitivity of these loss estimates to changes in intensity, vulnerability relationships, and substrate materials are discussed.
