The values given here regarding the anticipated consequences of an earthquake are automatically generated based on assumptions derived from the earthquake risk model of Switzerland (ERM-CH23) and do not reflect the actual situation. Consequently, the modelled values may vary considerably from the observed ones. Therefore, all information is provided without warranty and is subject to change.
The earthquake risk model of Switzerland was developed by the Swiss Seismological Service (SED) at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Federal Office for Civil Protection (FOCP).
- Danger level 1: no or minor danger
- Danger level 2: moderate danger
- Danger level 3: considerable danger
- Danger level 4: severe danger
- Danger level 5: extreme danger

The map shows the expected effects of an earthquake described in intensities. The intensity describes the strength of an earthquake based on the extent of the impact and the subjective perception of a person.
An intensity map is automatically produced based on various data, including the peak ground accelerations and ground velocities recorded at the seismic stations, local site conditions, and empirical instrumental intensity models.

- Estimated number of heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- Estimated occupancy of these buildings (regardless of the time of day or year)
- Estimated proportion of people who die in heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- Estimated number of fatalities due to damage to infrastructure (e.g. bridges, roads)
- Estimated number of fatalities due to the secondary effects of an earthquake (e.g. landslides, rockslides, fire)
- Estimated number of moderately to heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- Estimated occupancy of these buildings (regardless of the time of day or year)
- Estimated proportion of buildings that are no longer habitable due to damage.
- Estimated number of slightly, moderately and heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- The value of these buildings
- Estimated proportional loss of building value due to the damage caused
- Movable building contents (chattels)
- Losses due to the secondary effects of the earthquake (e.g. landslides, rockslides, fire)
- Losses due to delays, e.g. to repairs or reconstruction work
- Losses due to interruptions to business continuity
- Loss of infrastructure (bridges, roads, power lines)
- Estimated number of moderately to heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- Estimated occupancy of these buildings (regardless of the time of day or year)
- Estimated ratio of people injured in moderately to heavily damaged or destroyed buildings
- Injuries resulting from damage to infrastructure (e.g. bridges, roads)
- Injuries resulting from the secondary effects of the earthquake (e.g. landslides, rockslides, fire)
- Damage level 1: Negligible to slight damage
- Damage level 2: Moderate damage
- Damage level 3: Substantial to heavy damage
- Damage level 4: Very heavy damage
- Damage level 5: Destruction
The extent of moderate to destructive damage to buildings per canton and in the Principality of Liechtenstein is very likely to fall within the coloured range.
The percentage corresponds to the average proportion of damaged buildings per canton.
