The European Seismic Hazard Model 2020 (ESHM20) succeeds the 2013 model (ESHM13) using the same approach of state-of-the art procedures homogeneously applied to the entire pan-European region, without country-border issues. The models are not intended as sitespecific hazard models, they are not applicable to annual probabilities of exceedance below 2·10-4 and do not replace national hazard models. For Fennoscandia, the update only increases the earthquake data set by eight events, but the seismic source zones were updated, there was a complete change of ground motions models and the logic tree was significantly expanded.
