OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES INTERPRETivE MAP SERIES 24 Geologic Hazards, Earthquake and Landslide Hazard Maps, and Future Earthquake Damage Estimates for SIX Counties in the Mid/Southern Willamette Valley Including Yamhill, Marion, Polk, Benton, Linn, and Lane Counties and the City of Albany, Oregon APPENDIX D: LINN COUNTY CRUSTAL EARTHQUAKE SCENARIO Scenario Details Ground Motion Map SUBDUCTION ZONE EARTHQUAKE SCENARIO Scenario Details Ground Motion Map GEOLOGIC HAZARD MAPS Relative Ground-Shaking Amplification Susceptibility Map Relative Liquefaction Hazard Susceptibility Map Relative Earthquake-Induced Landslide Susceptibility Map Identified Landslide Areas Map HAZUS-MH GLOBAL REPORT FOR CRUSTAL SCENARIO HAZUS-MH GLOBAL REPORT FOR SUBDUCTION ZONE SCENARIO Mid/Southern Willamette Valley, Geologic Hazards, Earthquake and Landslide Hazard Maps, and Future Earthquake Damage Estimates CRUSTAL EARTHQUAKE SCENARIO DETAILS FOR LINN COUNTY Crustal Earthquake Scenario: A magnitude 6.7 earthquake on the Mill Creek Fault. For the magnitude 6.7 earthquake on the Mill Creek Fault scenario, we defined the fault source using the “de- terministic seismic source” option within HAZUS-MH (Figure D1) (FEMA, 2003b). The fault and earthquake event were chosen by examination of USGS (2004) data and data in the Geomatrix Consultants, Inc. (1995) Seismic Design Mapping, State of Oregon report prepared for the Oregon Department of Transportation. In general, a likely worst-case scenario was selected. Figure D1 has the location of the fault, shown as the dark line, and the census tracts within Linn County. Figure D2 displays the peak ground acceleration (PGA) for the crustal scenario.

For the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake scenario, we used the “user-defined event” option within HA- ZUS-MH to incorporate ground motion maps developed by the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW, 2003) to model damage and loss from a magnitude 9.0 earthquake (Figure D3). The CREW maps were developed from ground motion data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. The CREW earthquake scenario required the input of four sets of GIS files that are included within the HAZUS-MH study region: regional peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and the spectral velocity at 0.3 s and 1.0 s (CREW, 2003). Figure D4 displays the PGA for the subduction zone scenario. Figure D3. Location of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CREW, 2003).
