Earthquake forecasts can be expressed in a useful form for practical purposes by mapping the probability that specific strengths of shaking will occur within specified timespans. The minimum requirements for a forecasting model to allow this form of presentation are discussed and an illustration based on the precursory swarm hypothesis is given.
