Central America (CA), from Guatemala to Panama, has been struck by at least52 tsunamis between 1539 and 2013, and in the extended region from Mexico tonorthern Peru (denoted as ECA, Extended Central America in this paper) thenumber of recorded tsunamis in the same time span is more than 100, most ofwhich were triggered by earthquakes located in the Middle American Trenchthat runs parallel to the Pacific coast. The most severe event in thecatalogue is the tsunami that occurred on 2 September 1992 off Nicaragua,with run-up measured in the range of 5–10 m in several places along theNicaraguan coast. The aim of this paper is to assess the tsunami hazard onthe Pacific coast of this extended region, and to this purpose a hybridprobabilistic-deterministic analysis is performed, that is adequate fortsunamis generated by earthquakes. More specifically, the probabilisticapproach is used to compute the Gutenberg–Richter coefficients of the mainseismic tsunamigenic zones of the area and to estimate the annual rate ofoccurrence of tsunamigenic earthquakes and their corresponding return period.The output of the probabilistic part of the method is taken as input by thedeterministic part, which is applied to calculate the tsunami run-updistribution along the coast
