For people who live in regions affected by major earthquakes, hazard-mitigation and risk-management decisions need to be made. These decisions must be based on forecasts of future earthquake rates. Existing technology does not allow direct prediction of future earthquakes, however. Instead, prior catalogs must be used to forecast future rates. The key basis of earthquake hazard analysis is thus, in a broad sense, the analysis of seismicity (Bolt, 1978). Seismotectonics is also often a substantial component of seismic hazard analysis and requires knowledge...
