Earthquake Summary Posters
Each poster in the Earthquake Summary Poster series contains multiple panels showing the epicentral area, plate tectonic environment, earthquake history, and generalized seismic hazard of the region. These posters are approximately 36 inches wide by 24 inches high.
The posters should be considered preliminary. They are neither completely definitive (the earthquake data are those available in the first few days after the event) nor totally accurate (the map base may contain obsolete information, for example).
