| EarthquakeProfile Constructor |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AverageAnnualLoss | Contains the average annual loss (AAL), that is, the expected annual loss at the Location analyzed due to an earthquake. The AAL is presented as a percentage of total value. |
| CaliforniaDOIZone | Contains the California Department of Insurance Earthquake Zone Code. The codes range from A1 to H, where A1 is the highest risk zone, and H is the lowest risk zone. |
| DateOfTopHistoricalEarthquake | Contains the date of the nearest historical earthquake to the Location analyzed. |
| DistanceToNearestFault | Contains the distance to the fault nearest to the Location analyzed, in feet or miles. |
| EQMMIBy100YearReturnPeriod | Contains the probable maximum intensity of an earthquake within a 100-year period.
Touchstone reports the intensity as a value on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI). |
| EQMMIBy200YearReturnPeriod | Contains the probable maximum intensity of an earthquake within a 200-year period.
Touchstone reports the intensity as a value on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI). |
| EQMMIBy250YearReturnPeriod | Contains the probable maximum intensity of an earthquake within a 250-year period.
Touchstone reports the intensity as a value on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI). |
| EQMMIBy475YearReturnPeriod | Contains the probable maximum intensity of an earthquake within a 475-year period.
Touchstone reports the intensity as a value on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI). |
| EQMMIPE10 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude X on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude X earthquake, most buildings and their foundations are destroyed. Some bridges are destroyed. Dams are seriously damaged. Large landslides occur. Water is thrown on the banks of canals, rivers, lakes. The ground cracks in large areas. Railroad tracks are bent slightly. |
| EQMMIPE11 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude XI on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude XI earthquake, most buildings collapse. Some bridges are destroyed. Large cracks appear in the ground. Underground pipelines are destroyed. Railroad tracks are badly bent. |
| EQMMIPE12 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude XII on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude XII earthquake, almost everything is destroyed. Objects are thrown into the air. The ground moves in waves or ripples. Large amounts of rock may move. |
| EQMMIPE6 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude VI on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude VI earthquake, everyone feels movement. People have trouble walking. Objects fall from shelves. Pictures fall off walls. Furniture moves. Plaster in walls might crack. Trees and bushes shake. Damage is slight in poorly built buildings. No structural damage occurs. |
| EQMMIPE7 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude VII on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude VII earthquake, people have difficulty standing. Drivers feel their cars shaking. Some furniture breaks. Loose bricks fall from buildings. Damage is slight to moderate in well-built buildings; considerable in poorly built buildings. |
| EQMMIPE8 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude VIII on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude VIII earthquake, drivers have trouble steering. Houses that are not bolted down might shift on their foundations. Tall structures such as towers and chimneys might twist and fall. Well-built buildings suffer slight damage. Poorly built structures suffer severe damage. Tree branches break. Hillsides might crack if the ground is wet. Water levels in wells might change. |
| EQMMIPE9 | Contains the probability that an earthquake of magnitude IX on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI) will occur within the next 30 years.
During a magnitude IX earthquake, well-built buildings suffer considerable damage. Houses that are not bolted down move off of their foundations. Some underground pipes are broken. The ground cracks. Reservoirs suffer serious damage. |
| FaultZone | Specifies whether the analyzed Location is in an Alquiat-Priolo Fault Zone. |
| IntensityByPE | Specifies the earthquake intensity by exceedance probability for a Location. |
| IntensityByReturnPeriod | Specifies the earthquake intensity by return period for a Location. |
| LandslideZone | Specifies whether the analyzed Location is in a landslide zone. |
| LiquefactionPotential | Contains the soil liquefaction potential during an earthquake. Values represent a range from Very Low to Very High. |
| LossLevel100Year | Contains the loss level expected to occur due to earthquakes in the area analyzed during 1 year out of 100, or with a probability of 1% in any single year. Loss level risk is presented as a percentage of total value. |
| LossLevel250Year | Contains the loss level expected to occur due to earthquakes in the area analyzed during 1 year out of 250, or with a probability of 0.4% in any single year. Loss level risk is presented as a percentage of total value. |
