   the national seismic hazard maps for the UK. This is to take account of advances in seismic hazard methodology since the last seismic hazard maps were developed by Musson and Sargeant (2007) and present the results in a format that will be compatible with the future Eurocode 8 revisions.

   What is the minimum magnitude of a low seismicity hazard (NSHM)?

   • Recent NSHMs in low seismicity regions have a minimum magnitude between 4.3 and 4.5 Mw (Wiemer et al. 2016; Grünthal et al. 2018; Drouet et al. 2020). The SSC and GMC models used in the hazard computation are shown in Fig. 11.
