Camp Verde, AZ: what USGS's seismic model says

Under the seismic model IBC and ASCE 7 use for new construction, Camp Verde is Category C. Moderate seismic hazard. Code adds irregular-building restrictions and requires bracing of some nonstructural components (e.g. tall shelving, water heaters) in addition to structural detailing. Nationally, Camp Verde ranks above 72% of the 4,875 cities in this dataset for seismic hazard - the 72th percentile.

Where Camp Verde sits in Arizona

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.128g, short-period spectral response 0.289g, 1-second spectral response 0.091g. Among 57 Arizona cities in this dataset, Camp Verde ranks 12 for seismic hazard, the 80th percentile within the state. About 12,608 people live in Camp Verde, Arizona.

What a retrofit costs in Camp Verde

Outside California, no state-level retrofit grant equivalent to Brace + Bolt could be found for Arizona. A typical retrofit still runs $5,000-$10,000 nationally, about $7,000 for a common single-family job.

What this means for insurance

Outside California, earthquake coverage is typically sold as an endorsement added to a standard homeowners policy, not a separate product - worth asking about directly when getting a home-insurance quote for a Camp Verde address.
