As hazards Web surfers are well aware, the US Geological Survey provides earthquake information up the wazoo via dozens of Internet avenues. However, the amount of information is daunting, and, in the past that abundance, along with the multiplicity of USGS sites, has sometimes made it difficult to locate and sort relevant information. To remedy that problem, the Survey has launched this Earthquake Hazards Program site – "Earthquake Hazards on the Web" – as an entry point for all USGS earthquake information. It provides information for both global and regional earthquakes and includes sections on earthquake activity past, present, and future; earthquake education for children, grownups, and teachers; earthquake products such as maps, publications, fact sheets, videos, etc.; earthquake research; the USGS regional centers and regional Web sites; seismic networks; and frequently asked questions about quakes.

This is the USGS "Zip Code Earthquake Ground Motion Hazard Look-up Page". Put in a ZIP code and out comes the predicted seismic ground motion for that location.
