Description
The first version of the hazard model for Sub-Saharan Africa (v2016.0.0) was developed by GEM in collaboration with AfricaArray within the USAID-supported SSAHARA project. The original model is extensively described in Poggi et al. (2017). Since the original version, extended and improved versions were developed by introducing a procedure of earthquake-driven redistribution of activity rates (smoothed seismicity approach) on the previously defined source zones. Moreover, the current model includes now Madagascar, for which an ad-hoc seismicity analysis was carried out. The latest version (v2018.0.1) was used in the computation of the 2026 Global Earthquake Hazard Map.
