This electronic supplement contains four space-delimited plain text tables of data used in the article. The first, Table S1, contains magnitude-length-width data reproduced from the WGCEP [2003] hazard estimate, taken from a Table in the Appendix D by Ellsworth [2003] USGS Open File Report 03-214. The second, Table S2, reproduces a magnitude-area dataset compiled by Hanks and Bakun [2008]. The third, Table S3, is derived from a surface slip-length dataset compiled by Wesnousky [2008]. Some modifications of this dataset have been made, taking into account new LIDAR results of [Zielke et al., 2010] of the 1857 M7.8 Fort Tejon event, and the addition of a new large 2008 M7.9 Wenchuan event [Xu et al., 2009]. The fourth, Table S4, combines data from events common to Tables S2 and S3, to enable a comparison of events in common.
