This section is included in this document merely to highlight why seismic hazards can be very important to facilities under the jurisdiction of FERC. Hazards that may affect such facilities include fault rupture, soil failure, and seiches. Other hazards, such as tsunamis, are not discussed in this document because all of the facilities under FERC's jurisdiction are inland and are unlikely to be affected by tsunamis.
