Dear Pelelo,
you must understand the probabilistic method to calculate seismic hazard. for this you need to understand what is
- seismic zone (surface or fault)
- attenuation laws, wich are used to plot acceleration vs distance with a given magnitude
- gutenberg richter curves to describe number of earthquake with a given magnitude by years
after that, cornell method can be used to calculate pga which is the maximum acceleration generated at a site by all seismic sources.
all those steps are given with scientific background is the program help.
I d'ont know if crisis 2007 uses cornell method or not but seisriskIII do.
i'll try to make example with it and will help. I think it take shp files (files by gis systems)
just a confirmation: for this version, After installation, I found it in english except for the tsunami model help wich is wrote in mexican.
regards
