In an effort to guide safe land use decisions and building regulation, the state of Oregon's Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and the Metro Regional Government mapped the earthquake hazard in the metropolitan area. These maps portray such seismic hazards as landslides, liquefaction, and ground amplification. In support of this effort, this report describes the mapping project and the use of maps for land use planning in a seismically active area, in building permit administration and project review, and in the design of local ordinances
