In addition, this study suggests how to extend the results from the cases to Mid-America communities. Accordingly, the most devastating earthquake for communities in the small and the large source zones (represented by Sikeston and Carbondale, respectively) would be an M8 earthquake along the New Madrid seismic fault, and in the outside source zone (represented by Urbana) an on-site M6 earthquake; the dominant seismic risk source for buildings and population in communities in the small and the large source zones is the New Madrid seismic fault, and in the outside source zone the whole of Mid-America; the dominant seismic risk source for lifelines in communities in the small source zone is the New Madrid seismic fault, and in the large and the outside source zones the whole of Mid-America. These results have positive implications for Mid-America communities. The communities can understand their seismic risk and potential problems associated with their resources.
