This paper describes cross-border earthquake hazard maps calculated in terms of macroseismic intensities and peak ground accelerations (PGA) for the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia (CZ-PL-SK). The study has been done in the framework of the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP). The new earthquake parametric catalogue for CZ-PL-SK was used. The catalogue represents an updated, revised and comprehensive seismicity database without boundary problems. Earthquake data have been normalized to obtain a reliable annual recurrence graph for each seismic region and the maximum expected earthquakes have been estimated. Calculated attenuation laws allowed more advanced earthquake hazard maps to be defined. Using Cornell's standard probabilistic method, the hazard maps were calculated for the return periods 475, 1000, and 5000 years. For the period of 475 years, good coincidences were found when comparing this newely calculated intensity map with that of Grunthal for Germany (D) and Austria (A); and the PGA map with the effective ground acceleration map for Austria by Lenhardt.
