HOLLYWOOD FAULT ZONE

The intent of the Alquist-Priolo Act is to prohibit the location of developments and structures for human occupancy across the trace of active fault, thus avoiding the hazard of surface fault rupture.

​

Earthquake Fault Zones encompass hazardous faults, which are defined as those faults that are sufficiently active and well-defined:

​

       *  Sufficiently active - faults that exhibit evidence of Holocene displacement

         (approximately last 11,000 years)

​

       *  Well-defined - trace detectable by trained geologist
