Service Description: The purpose of this dataset is to show estimates of deaths and injuries that may occur as a result of a modeled earthquake. These are estimated for three different times of day the earthquake may occur: 2 AM, representing times when people tend to be at home; 2 PM, representing times when people tend to be at work; and 5 PM, representing when people tend to be commuting. Injuries are represented as four different severities as follows:
Severity 1: Injuries requiring basic medical aid that could be administered by paraprofessionals. These types of injuries would require bandages or observation. Some examples are: a sprain, a severe cut requiring stitches, a minor burn (first degree or second degree on a small part of the body), or a bump on the head without loss of consciousness. Injuries of lesser severity that could be self treated are not estimated by HAZUS.
Severity 2: Injuries requiring a greater degree of medical care and use of medical technology such as x-rays or surgery, but not expected to progress to a life threatening status. Some examples are third degree burns or second degree burns over large parts of the body, a bump on the head that causes loss of consciousness, fractured bone, dehydration or exposure.
Severity 3: Injuries that pose an immediate life threatening condition if not treated adequately and expeditiously. Some examples are: uncontrolled bleeding, punctured organ, other internal injuries, spinal column injuries, or crush syndrome.
Severity 4: Instantaneously killed or mortally injured.

Description: Injuries and casualties are calculated at the census track level, and aggregated to the county level. Estimates were based upon the 2000 United States Census.
The injuries and fatalities shown in this layer are those directly related to damage caused by earthquake shaking. Casualties from induced hazard events -- such as fire following earthquake, hazardous materials releases, and inundations (tsunamis, dam failures, levee failures and seiches) -- are NOT included in this estimation.
When this layer is turned on, click on any area of the map to view the number of injuries and fatalities at each severity level for the census track and the county as a whole.
