Both geodetic evidence of continuing strain accumulation (Savage et al,\n1986) and the occurrence of recent prehistoric large earthquakes (Sieh, 1986; Sieh and Williams,\n1990), however, lead us to conclude that this fault segment will eventually produce great\nearthquakes that pose one of the greatest hazards to southern California. An estimated 1.0-1.5\nmillion people now live adjacent to the San Andreas fault within the projected zone of severe\nshaking for such an earthquake. A magnitude 7.5 to 8.0 earthquake on this segment would also\ncause widespread damage to San Bernardino, Imperial, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles\ncounties, which together have over 12 million inhabitants. For these reasons, the Southern San\nAndreas Fault Working Group was formed in 1989 to recommend how the scientific community\nmight best respond to anomalous geophysical activity along the fault, increase our understanding\nof regional seismotectonics, and offer timely scientific advice to state and local governments.", } @misc {CaltechAUTHORS_https://authors.library.caltech.edu/id/eprint/55538, title ="Seismicity of Southern California: Earthquakes of ML 3.0 and Greater, 1975 through 1983", author = "Hutton, L.
