Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation - California
The CGS Earthquake Zones of Required Investigation map data presented in this application provide a full resolution digital representation of the Official Zone Maps for fault rupture, liquefaction and seismic landslide hazards in California.
In the 2018 and 2021 editions of the IRC, two separate sets of SDC maps were incorporated. These were identified as the Seismic Design Category Maps (Figures R301.2.2.1(1) through R301.2.2.1(6)) and the Alternate Seismic Design Category Maps (Figures R301.2.2.1.1(1) through R301.2.2.1.1(6)).

FEMA tracks the building code adoption status for state, local, tribal and territorial governments across the nation to evaluate several important aspects of a community’s natural hazard risks and building code adoption. The IRC SDC maps cannot be used for poor soil sites as discussed in IRC Section R401.
Interactive map of California earthquake hazard zones
The California Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Zone Application (EQ Zapp) is an interactive map that details the risk of earthquakes and related hazards for different areas of the state. The map is searchable by address, and it maps three main hazard zones: Fault zones; Landslide zones; Liquefaction zones
Seismic Design Category - UpCodes
The seismic design category for a structure shall be determined in accordance with Section 1613. Explore a searchable database of US construction and building code. Code regulations are consolidated by state and city for easier navigation.
