Available methods of risk analysis are capable of modeling variations in earthquake hazard and its resultant damage to urban development. A probabilistic approach to earthquake risk analysis is delineated. The expected level of ground motion over a study area is estimated and mapped. Areas subject to earthquake-induced secondary hazards of landsliding and liquefaction are identified and combined with ground motion to describe the overall hazard. Damage estimates can be generated for either existing or alternative future land use patterns. The approach is illustrated by a case study application to an area in San Luis Obispo county, California
