Using newly collected data and evolving theories of earthquake occurrence, the US Geological Survey and cooperating scientists now conclude that there is a 62 percent probability of at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater quake, capable of causing widespread damage, striking somewhere in the San Francisco Bay region before 2032. This Web site presents a variety of resources, fact sheets, and interactive activities about this subject.
