<br /> Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022 <br />Earthquake Hazards <br />- 55 - <br />Newport-Inglewood Fault <br />This fault zone consists of a right-lateral, local reverse slip associated with fault steps. It is 75 <br />kilometers in length with a slip rate of .6 millimeters per year. The communities nearest to this <br />fault are Culver City, Inglewood, Gardena, Compton, Signal Hill, Long Beach, Seal Beach, <br />Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa. Its most recent surface rupture was in 1933 <br />with a magnitude of 6.4. This fault has a probable magnitude of 6.0-7.4. According to the <br />Earthquake Data Center, Surface trace is discontinuous in the Los Angeles Basin, but the fault <br />zone can easily be noted there by the existence of a chain of low hills extending from Culver City <br />to Signal Hill. South of Signal Hill, it roughly parallels the coastline until just south of Newport <br />Bay, where it heads offshore, and becomes the Newport-Inglewood - Rose Canyon fault zone. <br /> <br />Map: Shake Intensity Map – Newport-Inglewood Fault M7.2 <br />(Source: USGS) <br /> <br />
