The study region of interest comprises 19 counties of the greater San Francisco Bay Area and adjacent areas of Northern California, covering 24,000 square miles, with a population of over 10 million people and about $1.5 trillion of building and contents exposure. The majority of this property and population is within 40 km (25 miles) of the San Andreas Fault. The current population of this Northern California region is about ten times what it was in 1906, and the replacement value of buildings is about 500 times greater. Despite improvements in building codes and construction practices, the growth of the region over the past hundred years causes the range of estimated fatalities, approximately 800 to 3,400 depending on time of day and other variables, to be comparable to what it was in 1906. The forecast property loss to buildings for a repeat of the 1906 earthquake is in the range of approximately $94 to $122 billion; 7,000 to 10,000 commercial buildings in the region are estimated to be closed due to serious damage; and about 160,000 to 250,000 households calculated to be displaced from damaged residences. Total losses, including those due to fire following earthquake, as well as losses to utility and transportation systems, are estimated to be about $150 billion.
