Earthquakes are unlike other natural disasters such as tornadoes or hurricanes because they can not be predicted. However, scientists can estimate their probability of occurring by looking at historical data.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of quakes occur in the United States each year but most are too small to offer a strong impact. According to FEMA, 38 states have moderate to high seismic hazards, so there is high probability that many data centers are located in areas with high earthquake risks. In order to lower the risks, data center operators can select areas like Michigan that offer low risks by studying seismic hazard maps and fault zones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Earthquake High Risk Locations<\/strong><br \/>\nEarthquakes occur when there is a sudden movement of the Earth\u2019s crust.\u00a0 This movement usually occurs along faults, which are zones of crushed rock separating blocks of crusts. \u00a0The state of California, which hosts the most data centers, offers some of the greatest earthquake risks.\u00a0 According to a study reported by sciencedaily.com, California has more than a 99% chance of a magnitude of a 6.7 or larger earthquake in the next 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the biggest earthquakes occur in the Cascadia Subduction Zone, 50 miles offshore of Oregon, Washington and southern British Columbia, an area that also houses a high concentration of data centers.\u00a0 Scientists have calculated an average time between major quakes in this area is around 270 years.\u00a0 It has been 308 years since the last significant earthquake. New research has put the probability of a quake, with a magnitude 8 or greater, as high as 75 percent in the next 50 years, says Chris Goldfinder, Oregon State University marine geologist.<\/p>\n<p>Another large fault area is near the middle of the country in New Madrid, Missouri.\u00a0 The USGS estimates that this areas has a seven to 10 percent chance of a major (7.5 and 8 magnitude) earthquake in the next 50 years. \u00a0This is a lower probability than in the California Bay Area, but the potential for disaster is greater due to the size of the area and lack of awareness and preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>The Wasatch Fault lies underneath Salt Lake City, Utah and is one of the world\u2019s longer faults.\u00a0 Scientists have found that this area has at least one major earthquake every 300 to 500 years.\u00a0 The last large earthquake was 300 years ago and this populated area is overdue for a major quake says Wired.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Earthquake Risk Map<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12848\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12848\" style=\"width: 497px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12848 \" title=\"US Natural Disaster Map\" src=\"https:\/\/otava.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/US-Natural-Disaster-Map.jpg\" alt=\"US Natural Disaster Map\" width=\"497\" height=\"259\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">US Natural Disaster Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisishq.com\/why-prepare\/us-natural-disaster-map\/\">https:\/\/www.crisishq.com\/why-prepare\/us-natural-disaster-map\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Seismic Risks<\/strong><br \/>\nData center operators can choose to look at areas with low seismic risks.\u00a0 According to FEMA, there are three main factors that determine seismic risks: the level of seismic hazards, the exposure of people and property in an area, and the vulnerability to these hazards.<\/p>\n<p>The level of seismic hazards considers the different sources of damage or harm like the possibilities of landslides or tsunamis.\u00a0 Other structural hazards like buildings collapsing, pipes busting or loose equipment, which can become hazardous when an earthquake occurs are also considered.<\/p>\n<p>The exposure to earthquake hazards is determined by the number of people in an area and\/or the infrastructure in an area.\u00a0 Seismic risks increase in areas that are more densely populated or urbanized. Once again we see in highly populated areas like southern California or Seattle, Washington, risks are higher than in less densely populated areas.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the vulnerability of an area can increase the seismic hazard risks.\u00a0 In areas that buildings and other infrastructure are built with seismic building codes and standards will have lower risks than in areas that older structures were built under less-effective codes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Earthquake Hazard Map<br \/>\n<\/strong>Looking at FEMA\u2019s earthquake hazard map, we can see the geographical regions with high possibility of earthquake hazards.\u00a0 These maps take into consider all three factors include the level of hazards, exposure and vulnerability of an area.<\/p>\n<p>The eastern half of the United States contains a high level of hazards along the New Madrid fault, which includes Missouri, southern Illinois, western Kentucky and western Tennessee. This area highlighted in red would see the strongest shaking and substantial damage would occur during an earthquake episode.<\/p>\n<p>On the opposite side of the spectrum, we can look at the Great Lake region where Michigan has a very low probability of experiencing any damaging earthquake effects.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12849\" style=\"width: 376px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12849 \" title=\"Eastern Earthquake Hazard Map\" src=\"https:\/\/otava.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Earthquake-Hazard-Maps.jpg\" alt=\"Eastern Earthquake Hazard Map\" width=\"376\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eastern Earthquake Hazard Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/earthquake\/earthquake-hazard-maps\">https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/earthquake\/earthquake-hazard-maps<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The western half of the United States has a high concentration of reds and oranges in California, Oregon, and Washington.\u00a0 All of these areas could experience strong shaking during a quake with poorly built structures receiving a considerable amount of damage.\u00a0 This area also has a high concentration of data centers as well as population which offers a significant level of risk.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12850\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12850\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12850 \" title=\"Western Earthquake Hazard Map\" src=\"https:\/\/otava.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Earthquake-Hazard-Map-2.jpg\" alt=\"Western Earthquake Hazard Map\" width=\"480\" height=\"595\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Western Earthquake Hazard Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/earthquake\/earthquake-hazard-maps\">https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/earthquake\/earthquake-hazard-maps<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michigan Offers Low Earthquake Risks and Hazards<br \/>\n<\/strong>The state of Michigan offers very low earthquake frequency and severity risks.\u00a0 Most of Michigan ranks in the lowest seismic zone category and is 36<sup>th<\/sup> in the U.S. for earthquake hazards according to the USGS. \u00a0The closest hazard zone to Michigan is approximately 350 to 600 miles from Michigan in the Lower Wabash Valley in Terre Haute, Indiana, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone.<\/p>\n<p>Many data centers located in high risk areas use seismically resistant building structures and equipment. However, many data centers rely on utilities like HVAC systems and commercial power. A large earthquake could cause a temporary blackout over multiple states and even longer-term outages closer to where the quake actually hit.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, earthquakes can damage a large area and a backup facility that is close to the primary site might be rendered inoperative by the same earthquake.
