Brief description

The 10% in 50 year seismic hazard map is the key output from the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment for Australia (NSHA18) as required for consideration by the Standards Australia earthquake loading committee AS1170.4

Notes

Purpose
This map is a key product from the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment for Australia (NSHA18). The map is a component of the complete model data package (available via eCat 123050 and described in eCat 123028). The 10% in 50 year seismic hazard map is delivered in shapefile and .grd formats.
