Comment on the paper "Earthquake Hazard Assessment in the Oran Region (Northwest Algeria

We would like to make some comments on the recent paper by Bouhadad and Laouami (2002), specially, related to the used methodology, as well as to the source parameters calculation and their use in the logic tree approach to derive seismic hazard.

description We would like to make some comments on the recent paper by Bouhadad and Laouami (2002), specially, related to the used methodology, as well as to the source parameters calculation and their use in the logic tree approach to derive seismic hazard. In our opinion, the authors have merged the deterministic and probabilistic approach to derive the source parameters and the final results. Also, the low unrealistic values of the b parameter used by them in the Gutenberg-Richter relationship necessarily lead to a clear overestimate of the seismic hazard in the studied area (the region of Oran, in Algeria).
