What happens next

In East Bench

Development in the East Bench neighborhood is relatively young and suburban, with larger lots and homes, curving streets and an abundance of cul-de-sacs, a pattern shaped by the steepness of its location on the slope of the foothills. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) Approximately one-third of East Bench neighborhoods developed prior to World War II. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) A scenario magnitude 7 earthquake is estimated to produce an average fault scarp height of 6.1 feet where faulting occurs along the East Bench, enough displacement to cause irreparable damage to any structure built across the scarp. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) In a scenario magnitude 7 earthquake, landsliding would likely be most severe on Wasatch Range mountain spurs, threatening downslope development such as the East Bench, although prehistoric landslide deposits on these slopes are relatively rare. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) Salt Lake City's wildland urban interface code adds fire safety rules for properties near undeveloped natural areas, covering building and roofing materials, how buildings are built, landscaping, and the space required between buildings and wildland.
