ESS Program ZIP Codes

The Earthquake Soft Story (ESS) program is available only for homes in select ZIP Codes. New areas are added with every program year using the following criteria, which are weighted equally:

  • Earthquake Hazard: Higher-hazard areas are identified using the United States Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake-hazard map for California.
  • The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program-designated Locations: The grant that funds this program has specific counties identified. The program only will be available in those counties and may be available only in certain ZIP Codes within those counties.

These criteria combined guide the selection of ESS program ZIP Codes.
