The seismic hazard indicator displays the territorially distributed intensity of ground shaking with a certain probability of exceedance rather than the occurrence of earthquakes at specific locations. The information for the indicator is provided by the Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe -project (SHARE) (Gardini et al., 2013, 2014). Rather than the occurrence of earthquakes at specific locations, the seismic hazard indicator displays the territorially distributed intensity of ground shaking with a certain probability of exceedance. The calculation of the seismic hazard includes in addition to records of earthquake events, e.g., fault structures, the strain of the Earth’s crust, and other factors affecting ground motion (Gardini et al. 2014). SHARE provides a European dataset of peak ground acceleration in proportion to the acceleration of gravity (m/s2) with a 10 % chance of exceedance in 50 years.
