The following basic elements of modern probabilistic seismic hazard had
been assessed to find the seismic hazard in Abu Serga church; the compilation of a
uniform database and catalogue of seismicity for the historical (pre-1900), and
instrumental periods (1900-today) in and around Abu Serga church. The creation of a
master seismic source model to describe the spatial-temporal distribution of
earthquakes, integrating the earthquake history with evidence from seismotectonic,
paleoseismology, mapping of active faults. The evaluation of ground shaking as a
function of earthquake size and distance, taking into account propagation effects in
different tectonic and structural environments. The computation of the probability of
occurrence of ground shaking in a given time period to produce maps of seismic hazard
and related uncertainties at appropriate scales.
