This dataset contains macroseismic data points and source parameters for 28 shallow 20th-century earthquakes in the Hainaut area, as well as for the 1983-11-08 Liège earthquake, all in Belgium. For each earthquake, there is 1 CSV-file containing minimum and maximum evaluated macroseismic intensity, latitude, longitude, commune name, epicentral distance and azimuth. The source parameters (origin time, epicentral coordinates, hypocentral depth, magnitude, maximum intensity, macroseismic radius and number of observations) are listed in a XLSX file. The ID_EARTH column in this file corresponds to the first part of the CSV filenames.The most significant difference with respect to the original dataset is an update of the coordinates of several Belgian localities that are used to locate the IDPs, resulting mainly in insignificant changes (20 IDPs in total). For the 1983 Liège earthquake (ID_EARTH=651), more significant changes were made to the IDP dataset as part of a major update of the ROB traditional macroseismic database, such as the addition of 297 new IDPs (~90% not felt), the modification of intensity values of 19 IDPs and the removal of 3 IDPs that were previously assigned to the wrong municipality.
