Switzerland is divided into four seismic hazard zones, with Geneva located in zone 1, the zone of lowest seismic risk. The data distinguishes soil classes, such as Class A (soft rock under a maximum of 5 metres of loose soil) and Class B (cemented sand and gravel deposits of greater thickness), relevant for construction and geotechnical engineering purposes.Quatre zones d'aléa sismique ont été définies en Suisse et Genève fait partie de la zone 1, qui est celle où le risque sismique est le plus faible.
