What is the meaning “Number of levels of intensity for which seismic hazard will be computed”?

The “Number of levels of intensity for which seismic hazard will be computed” is the number of points used by CRISIS for the estimation of the hazard curve. If you use a small number (e.g. 5) the hazard curve will not be defined correctly and errors could appear in the interpolation process. If the hazard curve is defined with many points, the hazard assessment would take so long. A good value to this parameter could be 10 to 15 points.
