Thousands of sailors, Marines arrive in San Diego after months aboard USS Nimitz

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Following the release of two maps last week by the California Department of Conservation, San Diego is notifying residents and property owners of proposed changes to earthquake fault zones within city limits which could potentially impact development and real estate transactions, it was announced Friday.

On Feb. 18, the California Geological Survey released the maps expanding existing fault zones previously mapped within the city. The new maps expand regulatory zones encompassing surface traces of active faults from La Jolla to downtown San Diego. These zones are at risk of surface fault rupture in the event of an earthquake.
