Identify five factors and differentiate between characteristics that make them high, moderate, or low risk phenomena. Two factors, the proximity of the site to a fault, are included as an example. If the fault were to move in the future, sites closest to the fault would suffer the most damage (high risk) whereas those further away may experience little or no damage (low risk). Each site with a high risk factor is scored as 3 points; low risk factors rate 1 point. The site with the highest cumulative score for all factors would be at greatest risk from a future earthquake
