Earthquake Environmental Effects Database

The Earthquake Environmental Effects (EEE) database is an inventory  of coseismic effects produced on natural environment.
The characteristics and size of these effects have been used for the assessment of epicentral and local intensities according to the INQUA intensity scale. The final expected result will be a catalogue of environmental effects structured similarly to traditional seismic catalogues.

From this page it is possible to view the descriptions and locations of EEEs triggered by earthquakes worldwide occurred. Moreover, it is possible to export local intensity data with coordinates, that allow to plot these data on a GIS.

Currently the database collects effects from nine  Regional Working Groups and further contributes will be included in the forthcoming weeks.

If you wish to contribute with some case studies, please contact the Scientific Secretary (inquascale@apat.it)
