THE USE OF GIS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE SEISMIC RISK ANALYSIS: THE CASE OF THE ITALIAN FORTIFIED ARCHITECTURE by E. Lenticchia, E. Coïsson

“…The main earthquakes which struck Italy in the last 40 years (up to the recent Central Italy seismic swarm) were taken into consideration and described by means of shake maps. A previously published work has been continued with the addition of new data and some improvements, including a specific symbology for the description of building typologies and conservation status on the maps, the indications of damage levels and the comparison between shake maps in terms of pga and in terms of pseudo-acceleration. …”

Regional Thermal Radiation Characteristics of FY Satellite Remote Sensing Based on Big Data Analysis by Tao Wen, Congxin Wei, Zhenyi Wang, Linzhu Wang, Zihan Yang, Tingting Gu

“…By analyzing and summarizing the thermal radiation anomalies of series earthquake groups with consistency law through a stable and reliable MS T-FRPS method, we first obtained the relationship between anomalies and ShakeMaps from USGS and proposed the anomaly regional indicator (ARI) to determine seismic anomalies and the magnitude decision factor (MDF) to determine seismic magnitude. …”

How Low Should We Alert? Quantifying Intensity Threshold Alerting Strategies for Earthquake Early Warning in the United States by Jessie K. Saunders, Sarah E. Minson, Annemarie S. Baltay

“…We determine alert thresholds that optimize this tradeoff between missed and precautionary alerts for target thresholds of MMI 4.0–6.0 using 143 M5.0–7.3 earthquake ShakeMaps as ground truth. We examine the quality of each alerting strategy relative to the target MMI, where we define alert quality metrics in terms of both the area and population alerted. …”

Magnitude and source area estimations of severe prehistoric earthquakes in the western Austrian Alps by P. Oswald, M. Strasser, J. Skapski, J. Moernaut

“…The paleo-earthquake catalogue might hint at a shift in severe earthquake activity near the Inn valley from east to west to east during postglacial times. ShakeMaps highlight that such severe earthquake scenarios do not solely impact the enhanced seismicity region of Tyrol but widely affect adjacent regions like southern Bavaria in Germany.…”
