Maumee, OH: what USGS's seismic model says

Under the seismic model IBC and ASCE 7 use for new construction, Maumee is Category B. Low seismic hazard. Code requires basic seismic detailing (bracing, connections) but no special structural system restrictions. Rank it against the rest of the country and Maumee sits at the 45th percentile for seismic hazard among 4,875 US cities.

Where Maumee sits in Ohio

The raw figures: peak ground acceleration 0.07g, short-period spectral response 0.133g, 1-second spectral response 0.054g. Among 254 Ohio cities in this dataset, Maumee ranks 128 for seismic hazard, the 50th percentile within the state. About 13,625 people live in Maumee, Ohio.

What a retrofit costs in Maumee

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

Earthquake insurance for a Maumee home

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 Maumee address.
