The overall values of hazard are not particularly high, since the predicted intensity for the higher zones is only 6 EMS. In other words, even in areas of relatively high exposure to earthquakes in the UK, there is only a 10% chance of experiencing shaking equivalent to intensity 6 in a 50 year period. If we assume that less than 5% of buildings of normal construction will be damaged when the intensity of shaking is 6, the probability of damage for a single house in 50 years is therefore less than 0.5%

kind of backs up what i said really doesn't it ,the rest of the links either talk about other countries or are just theories
