The volcanic island of Ischia has shown to have an important seismogenic potential, being the location of several destructive earthquakes, e.g. 1881, 1883 and 2017. The damage caused by these earthquakes was more connected to the proximity of the source to the surface rather than to their magnitude (M<5.2). The need to monitor and to model this sei...

We describe the first dense real-time urban seismic–accelerometric network in Italy, named OSU-CT, located in the historic center of Catania. The city lies in the region with the greatest danger, vulnerability, and earthquake exposure in the entire Italian territory. OSU-CT was planned and realized within the project called EWAS “an Early WArning S...

Following the Mw 3.9 earthquake that occurred in the Ischia island (Naples, southern Italy) on August 21, 2017, the local monitoring seismic network was significantly improved in terms of both number of stations and instrumentation performance. Due to the huge amount of collected seismic ambient noise data, in this paper we present a first 3D shear...

L'Italia è uno dei paesi con la maggiore concentrazione di beni culturali, la cui fragilità architettonica e gli effetti dei cambiamenti climatici, idrogeologici e sismici impongono continui interventi di recupero e manutenzione, che uniscono all’esigenza della conservazione, quella della messa in sicurezza. Il progetto eWAS, finanziato dal PON R&I...

Earthquake early warning systems (EEWSs) are nowadays contributing to seismic risk mitigation actions, both in terms of losses and societal resilience, by issuing an alert promptly after the earthquake origin and before the ground-shaking impacts the target to be protected. In this work, we analyze the performance of network-based and stand-Alone (...

We present the results of a feasibility study of an earthquake early warning system (EEWS) for the Campania region (southern Italy) using schools as specific targets. The study considered the seismogenic zones as sources of potential earthquakes for the area, the Italian accelerometric network as the recording network for seismic event occurrence,...

Allertare le autorità competenti (Protezione Civile, Vigili del Fuoco, etc.) dopo un terremoto per pianificare i soccorsi nella zona investita.

Over the last few decades, metropolitan areas have experienced a dramatic increase of exposure to earthquakes. Because of the still very low probability level at which short‐term earthquake forecasting is feasible, earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) currently represent an effective, pragmatic, and viable means for the implementation of protect...

When accompanied by appropriate training and preparedness of a population, Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS) are effective and viable tools for the real-time reduction of societal exposure to seismic events in metropolitan areas. The Italian Accelerometric Network, RAN, which consists of about five hundred stations installed over all the acti...

We present an approach to Earthquake Early Warning for Southern Italy that integrates regional and on-site systems. The regional approach is based on the PRobabilistic and Evolutionary early warning SysTem (PRESTo) software platform. PRESTo processes 3-components acceleration data streams and provides a peak ground-motion prediction at target sites...

The Irpinia Seismic Network (ISNet) is deployed in Southern Apennines along the active fault systemresponsible for the 1980, November 23, MS 6.9 Irpinia earthquake. The ISNet network is mainly devoted forestimating in real-time the earthquake location and magnitude from low-to-high magnitude events, andproviding ground-motion parameters values in o...

The last strong earthquake that occurred in the southern Apennines, the Irpinia earthquake on 23 November 1980 (M 6.9), was characterized by a complex rupture mechanism that ruptured three different faults (Bernard and Zollo 1989). This earthquake was well studied, and the quantity of data available has allowed a very detailed definition of the geo...
