Earthquake:

Northeastern Ohio is the second most active earthquake area in the State. At least 20 earthquakes occurred here since 1836.

However, based on geology, Cuyahoga County has a low risk for damage due to an earthquake. Ohio has twenty-two seismographic monitoring stations (OhioSeis). Cuyahoga County has one station located at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
