The 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM13) results from a community-based probabilistic seismic hazard assessment supported by the EU-FP7 project "Seismic Harmonization in Europe" (SHARE, 2009–2013). ESHM13 is consistent model for Europe and Turkey which overcomes limitation of national borders includes through quantification uncertainties. It first completed regional effort contributing to "Global Earthquake Model" initiative. might serve as reference various applications, earthquake...
This paper describes the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard (PSHA) Italy in view building codes from 2003 to 2009. A code was issued as a Prime Minister Ordinance, requiring that PSHA for updating zoning would be performed one year, terms horizontal peak ground acceleration (PGA) with 10% probability exceedance 50 years on hard ground. For first time Italy, working group, established by Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, adopted logic-tree approach model epistemic...
In the frame of European Commission project "Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe" (SHARE), aiming at harmonizing seismic hazard a scale, compilation homogeneous, parametric earthquake catalogue was planned. The goal to be achieved by considering most updated historical dataset and assessing homogenous magnitudes, with support from several institutions. This paper describes SHARE Earthquake Catalogue (SHEEC), which covers time window 1000–1899. It strongly relies on experience "Network...
Abstract Seismic hazard modeling is a multidisciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such models consist of probabilistic framework quantifies uncertainty across complex system; typically, this includes at least two model components developed from Earth science: seismic source motion models. Although there no scientific prescription for the length, most common analyses consider forecasting windows 30 50 years, which are typically an...
The NEAM Tsunami Hazard Model 2018 (NEAMTHM18) is a probabilistic hazard model for tsunamis generated by earthquakes. It covers the coastlines of North-eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean, and connected seas (NEAM). NEAMTHM18 was designed as three-phase project. first two phases were dedicated to development calculations, following formalized decision-making process based on multiple-expert protocol. third phase documentation dissemination. assessment workflow structured in Steps Levels. There...
We describe the main structure and outcomes of new probabilistic seismic hazard model for Italy, MPS19 [Modello di Pericolosità Sismica, 2019]. Besides to outline framework adopted, multitude data that have been made available after preparation previous MPS04, set earthquake rate ground motion models used, we give particular emphasis novelties modeling outcomes. Specifically, (i) introduce a novel approach estimate visualize epistemic uncertainty over whole country; (ii) assign weights each...
Social sensing is based on the idea that communities or groups of people can provide a set information similar to those obtainable from sensor network. Emergency management candidate field application for social sensing. In this work we describe design, implementation and deployment decision support system detection damage assessment earthquakes in Italy.

Abstract In a recent opinion piece Albarello and Paolucci (2023; hereafter, AP23) provide their view as members of the past Seismic Group Commissione Grandi Rischi (CGR-SRS) in Italy, which represents main scientific consultant for Italian Civil Protection, about difficulty using probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) models building code purposes. Here, we refer to this specific kind PSHA modeling National Hazard Model (NSHM). We agree with AP23 that topic is great general importance,...
In recent years, new approaches for developing earthquake rupture forecasts (ERFs) have been proposed to be used as an input probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). Zone- based with seismicity rates derived from catalogs are commonly in many countries the standard national models. Italy, a single zone- ERF is currently basis official model. this contribution, we present eleven ERFs, including five zone-based, two smoothed seismicity-based, fault- based, and geodetic-based, PSH model...
The authors of this "Editor's Select" column reflect on an article previously published in IEEE Internet Computing, discussing how social media can and can't be used with regard to disaster-related events.
Abstract. The style of faulting and distributions nodal planes are essential input for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. As part a recent elaboration new model Italy, we defined criteria to parameterize the styles expected earthquake ruptures evaluate their representativeness in an area-based seismicity model. Using available moment tensors relevant events (Mw≥4.5), first arrival focal mechanisms less earthquakes, also geological data on past activated faults, collected database last...

Messages posted to social media in the aftermath of a natural disaster have value beyond detecting event itself. Mining such deliberately dropped digital traces allows precise situational awareness, help provide timely estimate disaster's consequences on population and infrastructures. Yet, date, automatic assessment damage has received little attention. Here, authors explore feeding predictive models by tweets conveying on-the-ground sensors' observations, nowcast perceived intensity earthquakes.
Abstract An inventory of the available surficial data on active faults in Italy has been compiled by gathering all information peninsular (project CNR, National Group for Defense against Earthquakes), central-eastern Alps and Po Plain (EC ‘PALEOSIS’ project). Such summarised maps (reporting expressions with length L≥11 km) a table where fault parameters relevant seismic hazard assessment (e.g. slip rates, recurrence intervals surface faulting events, etc..) have reported.

Abstract. A new probabilistic seismic hazard model, called Modello di Pericolosità Sismica 2019 (MPS19), has been recently proposed for the Italian territory, as a result of efforts large national scientific community. This model is based on 11 groups earthquake rupture forecast inputs and, particularly, 5 area-source seismogenic models, including so-called MA4 model. Data-driven procedures were followed in to evaluate parameters each area source, such upper and lower depths,...
Abstract Two probabilistic seismic hazard (PSH) maps in terms of macroseismic intensity characterized by an exceedance probability 10% for exposure time 50 years are presented and compared. The first map adopts the standard Cornell–McGuire approach follows computational scheme developed reference Italian peak ground acceleration (PGA) (MPS04), while second one is derived through alternative methodology (referred to here as site approach) that based on statistical analysis history (i.e.,...
