It also gives a list of seismic sites and description of measurement procedures applied in the discussed region thus far. We mainly focus on seismicity of the Podhale region, the Pieniny Klippen Belt and the Beskids. At the moment there are 5 seismic stations in the Podhale region, which record the permanent weak seismic activity at the level of 0.5 ≤ ML ≤ 2.3. In this paper we estimated the completeness of catalogs and the distribution of magnitude exceedance probability for events in the Podhale region.
