"According to the U.S. Geological Survey station in Al Ain and the American University of Sharjah's Earthquake Monitoring Stations (AUSEMS) located in Fujairah, Masafi, and Ras Al Khaimah, expatriates residing in the Northern Emirates should consider earthquakes in any personal and/or corporate emergency and safety planning. For most of the Gulf, the principal threat are long period seismic waves that may originate in Iran. By the time these waves would reach the western side of the Gulf, they would have lost much of their energy. However, for some structures, they could propose a threat, especially if their foundations were susceptible to liquefaction. In parts of Oman and around Al Ain, there is some geologic evidence of recent earthquakes associated with the Oman Mountains. This evidence has been under-evaluated and may point to a substantial earthquake risk for parts of this region. The British Geological Survey has a contract with the government of the UAE for geologic mapping and related studies. Part of that work is to produce a seismic hazard map of the UAE. The risk in Dubai for modern and well-constructed buildings is assessed to be relatively small. However, the long-term risk in Al Ain may be much more substantial. One seismologist allowed that before assigning a risk "value," further study in this area by experts in seismic hazard evaluations is advised. "
