EUCENTRE and seismic emergency: technical preparedness activities and response after the central Italy earthquake

Modul za napredne seizmičke procjene je služba za tehničku intervenciju nakon potresa koju je EUCENTRE tijekom godina razvijao kroz niz nacionalnih i europskih pilot-projekata, terenskih vježbi i izravnih iskustava nakon posljednjih velikih potresnih događaja koji su pogodili Italiju od 2009. Sustav se sastoji od službe čije se središte za izradu scenarija štete i mobilne jedinice za procjenu oštećenja na terenu nalazi u Paviji. Nakon potresa u središnjoj Italiji, EUCENTRE je oko osam mjeseci bio uključen u niz aktivnosti, uključujući tehničku podršku talijanskom Odjelu civilne zaštite, zajedničku izviđačku misiju s međunarodno prepoznatim istraživačkim institutima.The ASA (Advanced Seismic Assessment) module is a post-earthquake technical intervention service, developed over the years by the EUCENTRE Foundation through a series of national and European pilot projects, field exercises, and direct experience, after the latest major seismic events that struck Italy since 2009. The system consists of a service managed at the headquarters in Pavia for the development of damage scenarios, and of a mobile unit for the on-site damage assessments. After the Central Italy earthquake, the Foundation has been involved for about eight months in several activities, including provision of technical support to the Italian Department of Civil Protection, joint reconnaissance with internationally acknowledged research institutes
