HAZUS-MH MR3 FAQs: Earthquake Model Hazard/Scenario Definition

Since the shaking maps are already defined in a selected probabilistic scenario, why do I need to specify a magnitude to define the shaking?

This magnitude is required for the liquefaction analysis and the ground shaking duration modeling.

For additional information, the HAZUS Earthquake Technical Manual, as well as other HAZUS Manuals and guidance materials are available for download from the HAZUS Resources.
