In this article, we describe the infrastructure developed and managed by the Italian National
Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics–OGS for the seismological and geodetic …

Seismic risk assessment of building portfolios has been traditionally performed using
empirical ground motion models, and scalar fragility and vulnerability functions. The advent …

Following a major earthquake, disaster information services must deliver accurate damage
assessment results during the emergency 'black box'phase when data is scarce. Seismic …

Rapid assessment of an earthquake's impact on the affected society is a crucial step in the
early phase of disaster management, navigating the need for further emergency response …

On a global scale, one out of three people is exposed to earthquakes, and most injuries and
deaths in case of seismic events are caused by the damage or collapse of residential …

Different approaches exist to describe the seismic triggering of rockfalls. Statistical
approaches rely on the analysis of local terrain properties and their empirical correlation …

Usually, the response after a disastrous event requires decision-makers in emergency
operative rooms to quickly outline and understand the current post-event situation, for …

After large-magnitude earthquakes, a crucial task for impact assessment is to rapidly and
accurately estimate the ground shaking in the affected region. To satisfy real-time …

The rapid estimation of expected impacts in case of an earthquake is extremely important for
emergency managers and first responders. Current near‐real‐time damage assessment …

Ground‐shaking maps provide a spatial representation of the impact of a seismic event in
terms of ground‐motion parameters (GMPs), especially useful in the context of seismic …
