Figure 8.5 Macroseismic map of the epicentral area of the 23 February 1828 Hannut (a) and
18 September 1692 Verviers (b) earthquakes. The mapped areas correspond to the rectangles drawn
on Figure 8.4 c and d. Each locality for which a historical source mentioned the two earthquakes is
identified by a number inside a circle. The estimated intensity (on the EMS-98 macroseismic scale)
is easily identifiable by the tone of the circle. The churches for which damage is reported in historical
accounts of the two earthquakes are indicated by a cross, showing the estimated damage grade on the
damage scale defined by Ahorner and Meidow ( 1994 ) . We also indicate the churches in which traces
of repairs and pathologies could be associated to the 1828 seismic event.
