| | EQ Hazards & Risks |
 | | Computer simulations for large cities, like San Francisco or Los Angeles, California, indicate that a magnitude >8.0 earthquake would cause between 3,000 and 13,000 deaths. |
 | | While architecture and building codes can reduce risk, it should be noted that not all kinds of behavior can be predicted. |
 | | Earthquake hazard risks maps are shown for the World, the U.S., and Canada in figures 4-11, 4-13, and 4-14 on pages 72 and 73 in your text. |
