The seismic risk for the continental United States, in terms of the expected annual number of deaths and severe injuries, and the expected property damange, is evaluated in this work. Probabilistic models and correlations are developed and used in the evaluations of the risks, accounting for such important variables as the variability of property values, damage factors, and so on. The results show that the incremental risk is generally very small compared to the background seismic risk.
