HazardIdentificationandVulnerabilityAnalysis TheTownofMontreatconcurswithBuncombeCountysidentificationofhazardsinour community. Duringtheprocessofidentifyinghazards,theTownofMontreatchosetoconsiderthe intensityofthehazardratherthanthesizeandlocationofthehazard.Thiswasdone primarilybecauseoftherelativelysmallsizeofMontreat,approximately5,000acresor 6squaremilesascomparedwithBuncombeCounty. 100
TheNationalEnvironmentalMappingandAnalysisCenter(NEMAC)/Renaissance ComputingInstitute(RENCI)attheUniversityofNorthCarolinaAshevilleassistedwith theidentificationofthefollowinghazardswithintheTownofMontreatsjurisdiction.

Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely. Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings. Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometres (100 mi) across in populated areas. Can cause serious damage over larger areas. Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred kilometres across. Devastating in areas several thousand kilometres across. Never recorded, widespread devastation across very large areas; see below for equivalent seismic energy yield. Micro Earthquake effects Micro earthquakes, not felt.[12] Generally not felt, but recorded. Frequency of occurrence About 8,000 per day About 1,000 per day 49,000 per year (est.) 6,200 per year (est.) 800 per year 120 per year 18 per year 1 per year 1 per 20 years Extremely rare (Unknown)

Witness Observations
Felt by very few people; barely noticeable. Felt by a few people, especially on upper floors. Noticeable indoors, especially on upperfloors, but may not be recognized as an earthquake. Felt by many indoors, few outdoors. May feel like heavy truck passing by. Felt by almost everyone, some people awakened. Small objects moved. trees and poles may shake. Felt by everyone. Difficult to stand. Some heavy furniture moved, some plaster falls. Chimneys may be slightly damaged. Slight to moderate damage in well built, ordinary structures. Considerable damage to poorly built structures. Some walls may fall. Little damage in specially built structures. Considerable damage to ordinary buildings, severe damage to poorly built structures. Some walls collapse. Considerable damage to specially built structures, buildings shifted off foundations. Ground cracked noticeably. Wholesale destruction. Landslides. Most masonry and frame structures and their foundations destroyed. Ground badly cracked. Landslides. Wholesale destruction. Total damage. Few, if any, structures standing. Bridges destroyed. Wide cracks in ground. Waves seen on ground. Total damage. Waves seen on ground. Objects thrown up into air.
The Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale

F-Scale Number Intensity Phrase Wind Speed 40-72 mph Type of Damage Done Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards. The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed. Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated. Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in fores uprooted Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated. Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel re-inforced concrete structures badly damaged. These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies
