Abstract: Influence of geomorphological conditions of territory on seismic intensity on data of macroseismic exploration of consequences of strong earthquakes is well known; at the same time relief influence is usually not considered adequately in building codes. New empirical formulae for seismic intensity estimation based on digital elevation models (DEM) are proposed in this work.

Keywords: relief, seismic effect, intensity, digital elevation model.
