We present the status of ShakeMap-EU, an initiative initially proposed in 2018 to: (i) provide an integrated archive of ShakeMaps at the European level built on EPOS Seismology (www.epos-eu.org/tcs/seismology) services & data products and modern community software; (ii) serve as a backup to authoritative ShakeMap implementations; (iii) deliver Shak...
Communicating scientific information about earthquakes is an important and delicate issue in countries like Italy, where seismic risk is high. Furthermore, continuous and scientifically sound communication is needed, especially in recent times when social media have amplified the risk of being biased by misinformation, fake news and conspiracy theo...
We present a web portal for prompt visualization of the maps of ground shaking generated using U.S. Geological Survey ShakeMap version 4 software. The web interface renders the standard products provided by ShakeMap dynamically (using Leaflet) and statically (standard ShakeMaps). The information included in the dynamic maps can be configured throug...
