Broadband synthetics obtained from scenario simulations of earthquakes with a frequency content between 0 and 10 Hz, referred to hereafter as “BBSs,” are playing an increasingly important role in seismic hazard analysis. An example is the Great Southern California ShakeOut, the largest disaster response exercise in U.S. history and an annual event since 2008 (Jones et al. 2008). The drill was the first to be based on BBSs, in this case for an M 7.8 scenario earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault. Another example of the important role of synthetic ground motions is the increasing awareness of...
