Description: The FaultBuffer layer was developed by the University of Washington to represent zones of potential seismic influence surrounding mapped fault lines. These buffer areas are commonly used in hazard modeling, emergency preparedness, and planning efforts to assess risk and establish guidelines for development near active or potentially active faults. This dataset supports regional planning efforts focused on minimizing earthquake-related risk.
